Stone Soup Supper

Past event
Sep 28, 2019, 6 to 7:30 PM

Come enjoy the bounty of the season at the annual Stone Soup Supper Saturday Sept 28 6pm at the United Church.
Adults $10.00 Children $5.00 under 5 free. Tickets will be available at the Fall Festival and at the door.
The supper will feature a variety of soups, salads and desserts to suit all diets with local ingredients cooked by talented Hinesburg cooks. Proceeds from the supper are donated to the Hinesburg Food Shelf.

Each year the Hinesburg Land Trust organizes this event in celebration of the amazing local food that is grown in Hinesburg and surrounding towns by farmers and home gardeners. A community harvest meal is a tradition in many cultures and as in the story of Stone Soup a great way to bring new comers and old timers together allowing us to share our gratitude for the land, the farmers and each other.

One of the soups will be cooking in the giant kettle during the Fall Festival along with the telling of the traditional Stone Soup folktale. It is story told in many cultures around the world of how hungry strangers with the help of a magic stone convince stingy and suspicious villagers to share some of their recent harvest and make a feast that feeds the entire village. In the spirit of Stone Soup festival goers are encouraged to bring a fresh local vegetable or herb to add to the soup during the day long festival.
