On October 10th EAR FARM will be turning 3 years old! That’s right, we’ve been harvesting music for your ears for three years now. Come celebrate with us and two of our favorite things… tasty barbecue and awesome music!
But wait! What’s this about a “ticket giveaway”??
Well… if the $32 ticket price is a bit steep for you, you’re in luck. We’re giving away TWO sets of TWO tickets each to TWO lucky people. All you have to do is send us an email (mail -at- earfarm -dot- com) telling us your VERY MOST FAVORITE BBQ SPOT and we’ll pick TWO people at random. Yay? More details on the show below…

Nothing says harvest like the crackle of hot, crispy pig skin, especially when that skin is covering a 200-lb Berkshire hog, roasted whole over an open barbecue pit by Tom Mylan, Brooklyn’s favorite butcher.
Hosted by Brooklyn Based, Sweet Deliverance, EAR FARM, and The Yard, the first annual Big Brooklyn Pig Roast and Harvest Hoedown is a prelude to the following day’s Harvest Festival at The Yard, and a celebration of all the best the season has to offer.
Snuggle up to someone special with a pint of Sixpoint and a plate of pork tacos, roast corn, fresh salsas, greens, warm apple crisp and cinnamon ice cream from Blue Marble. Then turn up your heels to the Americana twang and hillbilly swerve of The Jones Street Boys, Motel Motel, and Bel Air, as the lights sparkle on the Gowanus Canal.
Joshua Applestone of Fleisher’s Grass Fed and Organic Meats will be on hand to talk about why properly raised pigs are so delicious, and a member of the New Farmer Development Project, which the dinner will benefit, will speak about their work with farms. And Not Eating Out in New York blogger Cathy Erway is lending a hand with dessert.
Sixpoint beers $1 from 6-7. Five percent of proceeds benefit New Farmer Development Project. Tickets $32 in advance, available online HERE, or $40 at the door. (Free for kids 10 and under.)

In order to get the music in before sound curfew, the first band will go on promptly at 6:15. It’s an early start, but with those $1 Sixpoints and Bel Air providing the happy hour entertainment, it’s going to be well worth it to be there right at 6:00. See you there!
Listen:
“Looking Up” by Bel Air
“Coffee” by Motel Motel
“Last Time” (live @ WMSE) by The Jones Street Boys
