“Outhouse Orchards, Brooklyn Flea Record Fair, Village Voice's Brooklyn Pour”

Apples, Pumpkins, Music, Food, and more at Outhouse Orchards

It’s apple season and if you’re in need of a bushel or a peck, it’s time to get out of town. Craig, Emily, my mom and I took a nice drive about an hour outside the city last weekend to Croton Falls’ Outhouse Orchards and had a fantastic day. There are all sorts of apples to be plucked from trees (Mutsu, Golden Delicious, MacIntosh), as well as a pumpkin patch, a bluegrass band, a farmer’s market, a Ronnybrook Dairy Ice Cream Parlor, and a terrific outdoor food bazaar featuring wood-fired pizzas (cooked in a portable igloo-styled pizza oven), Flintstone-sized smoked turkey legs, pulled pork sandwiches, brisket, ribs, corn dogs, freshly-fried cider donuts, and lots more.

Take the family. You’ll love it.  

Outhouse Orchards is located at 139 Hardscrabble Rd. in North Salem. For more information and directions visit http://www.outhouseorchards.info/index.html.

Brooklyn Flea’s Record Fair

The Brooklyn Flea's fifth Record Fair, and the second of 2012, takes place Saturday, October 6, inside its Smorgasburg food market. After two highly successful recent fairs, vendors requested the new twice-annual schedule, particularly to accommodate record labels' release calendars. Surrounded by 100 food vendors, with special guest DJs all day, and now with SmorgasBar selling Brooklyn-made beer, wine, and spirits, the record fair has become one of the most popular market days of the year. 

Four top independent labels join the lineup of 32 vendors: Ghostly International, Merge, Mexican Summer, and Warp. Like many labels, Merge is debuting a major fall album before its official release date at the record fair: "Jiaolong" by Daphni (aka Dan Snaith of Caribou). Similarly, Kanine Records will be selling copies of its Grizzly Bear vinyl/LP reissue of "Horn of Plenty" before its January 2013 release; Minimal Wave will have pre-release copies of its latest, Deux's "Golden Dreams" EP; Ghostly will have pre-release 12"s of HTRK/Tropic of Cancer's "Part Time Punks Radio Sessions"; and many more.

Special guest collectors include Siltbreeze Records founder Tom Lax, Jesper Eklow of Endless Boogie, a shared booth of music-industry veterans (Kris Chen, Hua Hsu, Piotr Orlov, Joseph Patel), DJ Moosaka (also the Smorgasburg market manager), Robert Schaad (a psych/minimal specialist), Mondo Kim's, and the Greenpoint vinyl shop Coop 87.

This event also marks the launch of renowned Delaware craft brewery Dogfish Head's sponsorship of the record fair. As independent producers, music-lovers and even creators of their own annual record fair in Rehoboth Beach, Dogfish is a perfect partner for the event. In addition to its popular 60 Minute IPA and Punkin Ale, Dogfish will have available its rare seasonal "Bitches Brew," inspired by the Miles Davis album.
