We are delighted to participate in the Big Sur Forager’s Festival and support our local community with an old-fashioned BBQ in Redwood Canyon. We’re firing up The Beast—our nickname for the smoker—filling it with California live oak and serving up savory deliciousness. The generous plates include Chef Paul’s selection of mouth-watering tri-tip, spare ribs and chicken, grilled fresh vegetables from our organic garden, sweet roll, house-made pickles, and more. While The Beast is making great smokey barbecue, nearby will be our newest addition, the SurStream—a custom-designed mini Airstream—equipped with full bar, local wines and beer. Stay tuned for more details coming soon. For event details and venue information, visit www.bigsurforagersfestival.org or follow on the Foragers Facebook page
