Ayrshire Farm will be the site of a party and potluck on Sunday, June 29. “Potluck in a Pasture,” organized by ChathamArts, will bring visitors and their favorite dishes, made with all local ingredients, to the oldest certified organic farm in the state for dining, music and community. Featured performers and speakers are bluegrass musician Susan Ketchin, singer Sarah Shook, mural artist Erick Davis, woodworker Diane Swan and publishers Dave Korzon and Elizabeth Oliver. Farm owner Bill Dow will lead a tour of the farm.

Visitors should bring a potluck dish for eight including at least one locally grown ingredient, along with their recipe, beverages, lawn chairs and blankets. ChathamArts will accept donations.
