Festivities will include a cooking class taught by Meer, and live music from the band Country Jubilee, who will play country favorites. A square dance instructor will be on hand to help even those with two left feet join in the fun. Meanwhile, kids will have the chance to do a little harvesting of their own in the farm's many vegetable patches, and at meal's end, will be encouraged to take a turn cranking at the ice cream maker. All this, along with the beauty of nature and an al fresco meal good enough for demanding New York foodies. The beautiful Beechnut Hill Farm is owned by Meer's cousin, Dr. Fred Heilbut and includes 12 acres of land where Meer plays gentleman farmer when he is not tending to his kitchens.
