What better way to spend a summer night than on the farm with your friends cooking? Meg Low of Fresh & Fancy Farms is hosting a cooking class Thursday--Perfect Pickings for a Picnic -- from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The cost is $22 per person.

Meg will teach you how to create farm fresh salads and sandwiches using local and seasonal produce. And--all the recipes will be picnic perfect. In addition to learning how to prepare your picnic feast, Meg will also show you how to pack your picnic in style for your next family picnic outing. 

Once Meg takes you through all of the steps of preparing each dish, its time to sit with your friends around the large farm table and watch the sun set over New Milford as you enjoy all the fresh food the class has created. 

Fresh & Fancy Farms is located at 575 River Road, New Milford.
