The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will present a Harvest to Table event June 24 in Iredell.
The program will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Young Ranch, 2485 Farm-to-Market Road 216.
The cost is $35, and space is limited to 25 participants. Preregister online at https://tx.ag/Harvest2Table or by calling 254-435-2331. Payment in the form of cash or a check will be required to complete registration.
The unique event includes an oryx lunch prepared by Oma Leen’s restaurant chef and owner Austin Odom, Walnut Springs. An oryx is a type of antelope with a flavor some consider to be the best of all game animals.
“This event will give participants a first-hand demonstration to see the complete harvest-to-table process with a delicious meal made by a professional chef,” said Chelsea Dorward, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent, Bosque County.
“The host site Young Ranch is also a great place to see many exotics, including Père David’s deer, elk, oryx, barasingha, fallow deer, bison, aoudad, eland and more,” she said.
