Crescent Duck Farm Charity, March Specials & More from the East End Food Seen

January felt like it lasted for 25 years, and now February has come and gone. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy the foodie happenings in March! Check out the East End events taking place below.

Flock Together: Local Chefs Tribute to Crescent Farms is taking place tonight, February 28 from 6–8 p.m.! This exclusive culinary event is being put together to support Crescent Farms, the last commercial duck farm on Long Island, which lost their entire flock as demanded by federal officials because of the avian flu outbreak. The family-owned farm is now fighting to recover from the loss. Tellers Next Door is hosting the cocktail-style gathering featuring incredible dishes from top NY and Long Island chefs, crafted with donated ingredients from local purveyors. The Crescent Collective: Focus on the Chefs includes Francis Derby of Shands General, Ben Hoffman of Prime: An American Kitchen & Bar, Christian Mir of Stone Creek Inn, Steve Gallagher of The Trattoria, Armond Joseph from Léon 1909, Ryan Hardy of Delicious Hospitality Group, Steve Rizzo of Off the Block Meats, Berenice de Araujo of North Fork Table & Inn and Keenan Boyle of Tall Mutha Shucka. Drinks have been donated by Montauk Brewing Co., Wölffer Estate Vineyard and The Better Man Distilling Co. All proceeds go directly to Crescent Farms’ laid-off workers, ensuring they remain employed and the farm can eventually reopen. Can’t attend? You can donate at gofund.me/flocktogether25. Tickets are available on the Crescent Duck Farm Chefs Collective eventbrite!
