About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer hog roast day in Ovington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
