Weekend Fair: Harvest Festival from LavkaLavka

Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design and the farm food project LavkaLavka are organizing a real harvest festival at Krasny Oktyabr!

Traditionally, early autumn is the time to harvest the crops and celebrate the end of the agricultural season. As part of Strelka’s series of ‘Weekend Fairs’ several dozen farmers working with LavkaLavka will bring everything they have grown, procured or caught, to Moscow.

Hardly can one find such gastronomic diversity in Moscow: 11 varieties of cabbage, 12 of mushrooms, 9 types of domestic and wild fowl, Murom and Nizhyn cucumbers, Romanov and Danilovsky onions, Krasnoe Selo and Petrovskaya turnips, Belyov pastila, hazelnuts, cowberries, foxberries, bilberry honey, fish pickled with spices, pike, whitefish, grouse, vendace, pumpkin seed oil, semi-wild boars, pinecone jam and so much more.

Not only will you be able to buy farm products at the fair, but you will also have an opportunity to taste them. Bar Strelka’s chefs Nathan Dallimore and Natalie Horsting will celebrate the harvest day by laying Moscow’s longest dinner table! Glen Ballis and Mamu (Roni) and Scott Denning (Bosco Cafe) will help them. Glen will prepare the starters, and Scott — the dessert. Nathan and Natalie will cook the main course – a suckling pig and a lamb roasted on a spit. Anyone can take part in this tremendous feast. A ticket (3 courses, drinks included) will cost 2500 rubles (available at Strelka Institute’s information stand).
