SARANAC LAKE — Hand-cranked ice cream, drinks like peach shrub and switchel, local meats, homemade soup stock and home-raised chickens will be among the things featured at a food festival this Saturday. “We’re celebrating what farmers bring to us,” said Gail Brill with the Adirondack Green Circle, which is sponsoring Saranac Lake’s first Farm2Fork festival in partnership with the AuSable Valley Grange. “We’re celebrating what to do with that food.” The festival will be in Riverside Park, the same time as the farmer’s market. From 9 a.m. to noon, there will be a series of free workshops based on the Green Circle’s “Lost Arts” workshops, in skills such as making soup stock, artisan breadmaking, how to cut up a chicken and raising chickens in your backyard. There will be cooking demonstrations from noon to 2 p.m. Paying the $10 ticket price will allow people to taste samples of all the food being cooked, as well as to have to some hand-cranked ice cream.
