As many of you know, in addition to running the Foster Harris House and Tour d’Epicure, we’ve developed a TV show called In Season, hosted by our very own John MacPherson. In each 30-minute episode, John goes into the field to meet and work with the folks who grow, produce and harvest beautiful --and sometimes unusual-- foods when they are at their peak of flavor. Then, he takes those ingredients back into the kitchen to prepare a simple meal that highlights nature's seasonal bounty. We’re thrilled that PBS has enthusiastically committed to distributing a full season (13 episodes) as soon as it’s produced.
In order to help fund production, we’ve partnered with Kickstarter.com, a secure online funding site that perfectly suits the grassroots spirit of our project. Depending on the pledge level, supporters receive various rewards: In Season t-shirts, autographed pilot episode DVDs, opportunities to be on the set during production, Schmidt Brothers knives, and much more. For larger pledge amounts, we even offer overnight accommodations at the Foster Harris House, a five-course private dinner prepared by John, and even a special dinner guest: Marian Burros, world-renowned author and New York Times Food columnist.
We have 45 days to meet our funding goal of $125,000. If we succeed in meeting our funding goal, you’ll receive the reward at your pledge level and our deepest gratitude for helping us make a significant leap toward getting In Season on the air. If you’re among those who actively seek out extraordinary ingredients, if you celebrate the fleeting splendor of seasonal foods, and if you want to honor those artisans whose skill and patience make those foods possible, then we invite you to join our grassroots effort to produce the show. Please visit Kickstarter.com if you’d like to be a part of helping In Season bring a new type of food programming to the table. Thanks so much for your continued support of the Foster Harris House, Tour d’Epicure and in Season.
All the best, John and Diane
