Visit Roberta’s in Bushwick this Sunday from 11am to 5pm and load up on produce from Brooklyn Grange, a community farm in Queens. If we were you, we’d grab a slice of pizza too !

Sustainably raised barbecue will be served up by more than 30 chefs along side demos, panel discussions and bluegrass. Plus wash it down with beer and bourbon.
