Led by Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, the NY Locavore Challenge is a month-long campaign aimed at challenging New Yorkers to eat local. The goal for this campaign is to educate New Yorkers about how to make healthy and ethical food choices, cook with in-season, local foods, while supporting local sustainable farms and food businesses.

To find food sources local to Central New York, please use the Farmshed app, NOFA’s official mobile application for the 2011 NY Locavore Challenge. Access Farmshed directly from your internet browser or from your iPhone, Droid, Blackberry or other mobile device. Here’s the address: http://m.farmshedcny.com/

Wood Fired Pizza

BBQ Pizza – We start this pie with a slather of Chef Lerman’s Black-Strap Yankee Bar-B-Q Sauce, add some cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and then give it a few slices of sweet sausage from Autumn’s Harvest Farm in Romulus, NY. Come get it! [$12.00]

The 26 Mile Pizza – Perhaps our most popular veggie pizza, we call this one the 26 Mile because 100% of its toppings are locally sourced (within 26 miles of where our wood fired oven sits). We start it with a base of locally sourced caramelized peppers and onions and chevre from Lively Run. And when we’re done firing it, we finish this pizza with a drizzle of Butternut Squash Seed Oil from our friends at Stony Brook WholeHearted Foods. [$11.00]

Wine

Try the Cayuga Ridge Estate Riesling (which recently won Germany’s Best Riesling of the New World 2010 award) or your favorite red or white.

Other Goodies

Treat yourself to a homemade scone from Loon Cliff Specialities!

Rustic. Wood Fired. Local. Arguably The Best Pizza On The Cayuga Wine Trail and In The Finger Lakes Region.

Between the race at Watkins Glen and the Riesling Festival in Canandaigua, there’s lots going on this weekend in the Finger Lakes. If you happen to be on the Cayuga Wine Trail, please stop by and say hello.

Wood Fired Pizza

Sunny Side Up Pizza – As usual, we start this pie with a base of homemade creme fraiche from local cows (I know, right?) and then give it a few slices of sweet sausage from Autumn Harvest Farm in Romulus, NY. After that we add a three cheese blend. Then some onion scapes (from the garden). And – living up to its name – we top this pizza off with a farm fresh egg! [$12.00]

The 26 Mile Pizza – Back by popular demand, we call this one the 26 mile pizza because 100% of its toppings are locally sourced (within 26 miles of where our wood fired oven sits). We start it with a base of locally sourced caramelized onions and chevre from Lively Run. And when we’re done firing it, we finish this pizza with a drizzle of Butternut Squash Seed Oil from our friends at Stony Brook WholeHearted Foods. [$11.00]

It may be a rainy weekend but there is a lot to do in Finger Lakes Wine Country. If you have some time, you should check out Fox Run’s 19th Annual Garlic Festival. If we can break away from making wood fired pizzas for a little while, that’s where we’re headed. Yum!
