The Harrison County Wv Historical Society is hosting Lost Creek Farm on June 20th. Chef Mike Costello and Amy Dawson of Lost Creek Farm will prepare a special six-course popup dinner featuring traditional foodways of north-central West Virginia. Members of the historical society will also be conducting oral histories of attendees.
Volunteers will work to prep and serve food for the event. Volunteers will also have an opportunity to eat at the dinner as well for free.
Through their traveling kitchen based in southern Harrison County, Costello and Dawson share a creative take on Appalachian food in locales across the eastern U.S. Lost Creek Farm's regionally-inspired menus include heritage foods such as charcuterie handed down in local immigrant communities, wild harvested ingredients, and a variety of heirloom crops grown on their 180 acre farm. Their work to create a regionally distinctive culinary experience was recently featured on Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.
