Brighton: Feeding 250 Years of Independence, an August Series with Brighton Main Streets
Thanks for joining one or more of the six sessions we ran around Allston-Brighton, tasting, talking, and walking through the hundreds (and thousands) of years of food history here. Huge thank you to Brighton Main Streets and Boston250 for the support to make it possible for free!
Please leave a review on Google if you enjoyed the experience and would like to help others find out about similar experiences!
For much more, check out the Brighton-Allston Historical Society's detailed website at BAHistory.org for more stories and photos from the many eras in Allston-Brighton's history!
A few times, we discussed the ongoing development of a community-led cooperative food system solution, including farmers' market produce pickup events. Learn more about that by clicking here.
Here are a few specific recommendations for learning:
Boston Public Library Brighton Branch Monthly Food Book Club
Here is the Instagram link to a mini-biography I put together this winter about Joshua Bowen Smith, Prince of Caterers and Underground Railroad Conductor. Scroll down for the images in a grid without needing to use Instagram to read them.
Check back here or on Instagram @ABFoodToursBoston for a 4-part series of print and digital zines that highlight many of the topics we covered.
After 9/1, Thursday morning 8-9 am Cafe+Nature Walks are back! Check Partiful and Instagram.
Later in September, a very-soon-to-be-announced series of plant-based food tours is coming!
Stay tuned for a fun October series that will take this concept to a new level!
