The Stone Barns Spring Feast is an annual culinary event held at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, located in Pocantico Hills, New York. Stone Barns Center is a nonprofit farm and education center that focuses on sustainable agriculture and food systems.

The Spring Feast is a celebration of the spring season and the abundance of fresh, locally grown food. It brings together renowned chefs, farmers, and food enthusiasts to showcase the flavors and techniques that highlight the farm-to-table movement. The event typically features a multi-course dinner prepared by guest chefs using ingredients sourced directly from the farm and the surrounding Hudson Valley region.

Guests at the Spring Feast can expect an exquisite dining experience that emphasizes seasonal and sustainable cuisine. The menu often includes a variety of dishes that showcase the best produce, meats, and dairy products available during the springtime. The chefs work closely with the farmers and artisans associated with Stone Barns Center to create a menu that highlights the flavors of the season and supports the principles of sustainable agriculture.

In addition to the meal, the Spring Feast may also include educational components such as farm tours, workshops, and presentations that explore the importance of sustainable food systems and the work being done at Stone Barns Center.
