Shirley Plantation Event Features 首页-Grown Freshwater Prawns, 强调可持续发展, 状态的食物
弗吉尼亚州诺福克 -连续第二年, students and faculty from the Culinary Institute of 维吉尼亚州 have been invited to prepare the feast at the annual Shirley Plantation Shrimp Boil, featuring locally-grown freshwater prawns. 比普通虾大, these especially-large delicacies are native to Asia, but grown in specially-designed ponds on the plantation’s grounds.
“There are no chemicals used to grow our freshwater shrimp and they will be consumed within a few feet of where they are produced,” says Shirley Plantation Foundation President Charles Carter. “This event is designed to be great deal of fun, but also highlights the importance of locally-grown food. There’s no transportation cost or impact to the environment, plus the food source and handling is known. Our shrimp are raised on grain produced here on the farm. Simply put, they are the freshest shrimp you will ever eat.
“Shrimp purchased at a store or restaurant often come from half a world away, are transported frozen and stored for weeks at the cost of many gallons of fuel burned. They also contribute to declining fish stocks, and can be mislabeled and come from countries with less stringent environmental or health regulations than the U.S.”
Scheduled for Saturday, September 17 from 3:00 to 7:30 pm at 雪利种植园道501号 在查尔斯城, 维吉尼亚州, the Shrimp Boil will also include potatoes, corn and kielbasa cooked in a spicy Creole broth. 门票可在网上购买 http://squareup.com/market/shirley-plantation-foundation or in the Shirley Plantation gift shop.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for our students,” says Culinary Institute of 维吉尼亚州 Chef Greg Burroughs. “毕业后, many of our students may be involved with outdoor catering which involves a specific array of challenges involving sanitation and temperature control.
“They also gain exposure to the farm-to-table movement. More and more people are interested in eating food that is grown in nearby, sustainable environments. The aquaculture operation at Shirley Plantation is an excellent example of this.”
