SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, August 26\, 2026: Mike MacDonald\, Churchtown Dairy
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILWest Hartford\, CT\, August 26: Mike MacDonald\, Churchtown Dairy \nOn Wednesday\, August 26\, 2026\, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club – the first in the nation – is pleased to host the general manager of the Churchtown Dairy in Churchtown\, New York. It is one of this nation’s greatest treasures both in its remarkable products but also in the beauty of the place. It’s also the home of the world-famous round barn\, a true architectural achievement.  \n \nChurchtown is also leading the way in rediscovery the cultivation of real food as our ancestors ate. And they are doing it against all odds and despite unrelenting pressure not to do this.  \nMike will speak about the dairy’s history\, its operations\, its struggles\, and its future – which is bound up with the future of the American farm itself.  \nButterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the Brownstone Institute. Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends\, scholars\, writers\, and benefactors\, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun\, even if some people come in fancier clothing. \nMike MacDonald is in charge of operations of the Churchtown Dairy\, a beacon for those drawn to the beauty of small farms\, pastured animals\, and the life-giving energy of real food. He operates a raw milk dairy\, creamery\, and garden to live out our commitment to preserving farming traditions that sustain human and ecological health. \nChurchtown engages in education and research centered on principles of organic farming and agroecology. It believes that the trend toward chemical “Big Ag” must be reversed. It supports initiatives that seek to return agricultural practices to appropriate scale. It believes it is imperative to produce food with integrity in the service of our bodies\, our minds\, and our communities. \nChurchtown embodies a vision of a world where small is not only beautiful\, but viable; where we consciously connect our work to the systems of life.  \nBonus: Mike says that he will bring some of its legendary cheese for us! You will be astonished. What’s more\, this event will be a real experience for supper club members.  \n

SUMMARY:Brownstone Pittsburgh Supper Club\, August 26\, 2026: Ann Bauer
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILDeBlaze at 131 | 131 E Main St.\, Carnegie\, PA 15106 \nWednesday\, August 26\, 2026 6:30 – 9 pm  \n$53 includes appetizers and dinner \nPittsburgh Brownstone Supper Club is pleased to welcome Ann Bauer\, as she presents “Chronological Certainty and the Crackdown on Speech.” \nC.S. Lewis wrote about this phenomenon (as Chronological Snobbery) that has become hardened in today’s elite academic world. It’s the fallacy that whatever science came before modern “discoveries” was faulty\, naive\, and suspect. But everything researchers say\, believe\, or divine TODAY is indisputable fact. Coupled with speech laws banning misinformation\, it allows a small\, self-interested group of so-called scientists to dictate “truth.” It is regressive. The Vanishing Family\, a widely-publicized forthcoming book by bestselling author Robert Kolker\, underscores this trend. \nAnn Bauer is a novelist\, essayist\, and co-founder of the publishing app Storyalīz\, which was developed to improve literacy and critical thinking.
