Want some cooking inspiration from the chefs at Nick & Toni’s or dessert advice from the farmer behind Wickham’s Fruit Farm?

Then join Peconic Land Trust for its annual series of conversations with local farmers and food and beverage producers. Whether it’s a discussion on drinks with chef Noah Schwartz of Noah’s or dessert with Patty’s Berries and Bunches, there’s sure to be something for everyone.

The program, titled “Long Island Grown III: Food and Beverage Artisans at Work,” is the seventh in a series of lectures that focuses on some of Long Island’s most innovative chefs, growers and food producers. The lectures will be hosted by three-person panels over four Sundays during the months of March and April.

“We are very excited and are looking forward to another season of great conversation,” said Yvette DeBow-Salsedo, director of marketing and communications at Peconic Land Trust. “We have lots of North Fork farmers, producers and chefs participating in the conversations. Last year the series sold out.”

All the presentations will be held at Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton and will be moderated by the East Hampton Star’s Food Editor Laura Donnelly. Refreshments will follow each presentation and attendees are encouraged to mingle with the panelists following each program.

Admission is $25 per person or $20 for current members of Bridge Gardens. Tickets for the entire series can be purchased for $90 per person or $70 for members. Pre-registration and pre-payment is required.
