We’re excited to welcome to the stoop this September partners in business and life, Ian and Colleen Bock of The Acre! This dynamic duo are bringing their warm approach to “garden to table comfort food & drink” all the way from their Ridgewood, Queens spot.

Ian and Colleen's relationship has always been based on food and the outdoors- their restaurant, The Acre, tries to share that love with the people of Queens with their garden-to-table food and cocktail programs.

Colleen and Ian live on a half acre on Long Island with their two dogs, where they spend their weekends in their vegetable garden and foraging in the local woods and beaches. The connection to LI has allowed them to develop a strong relationship with a small, family owned farm in Suffolk County, where they pick up organic produce each week and fuels The Acre's truly seasonal food and drink menus.

Your Ticket Includes:

  • The day’s chef-driven fixed menu, with your choice of meat or vegetarian entree with sides.

  • Three drinks, thematic to each menu — with inspired alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic cocktails, beer and wine. (Please note, you cannot purchase additional drinks onsite.)

  • 2.5 hours to eat, drink and roam the farm. Simply choose a seating:

    Buzzin' Brunch (2:30 - 5:00 PM)

    Sunset Supper (6:00 - 8:30 PM)

  • $5 of every ticket sold goes directly to the FIG Food Security Program, a cooperatively-run free fresh produce and prepared foods initiative operated by our grassroots sister organization, FIG, and supported by 1:1 Foods, Brooklyn Grange, Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo, and other independent food businesses & professionals committed to transforming the food system from the grassroots up.
