Everyone at the farm enjoyed spending the day with cousins Francis Garcia and Sal Basille of the Cooking Channel’s ‘Pizza Cuz’ show. The cousins were on a mission to harvest the freshest ingredients for a pizza which was featured on the Rachael Ray Show on the November 9th episode.
Francis and Sal opened Artichoke Basille’s® in New York City in 2008. Having gotten their hands into the business early on working at their family’s restaurant, Basille’s in Staten Island, the boys and their pizza shop have made more than a name for themselves in Manhattan. While growing their pizza empire, they keep busy hosting ‘Pizza Masters’ on the Cooking Channel, a weekly mouthwatering exploration of pizza across the country through the taste buds of these pizza aficionados.
Thanks again to the whole crew and Francis & Sal for a fun visit!
We were thrilled to host over 300 guests this past October 1st for an outdoor screening of Extra 1104: The Story of the 1925 Rockport Train Wreck written, directed, and produced by local college student, John General. It’s now available for you to view in its entirety online! This documentary is approximately 25 minutes long and is not recommended for young children. Visit John General’s website to view this important and haunting historical film.
About the film: Leaving fifty people dead after being steamed alive in the dark of the night, the train wreck of Extra 1104 in 1925 stands today as the deadliest disaster in Warren County, New Jersey. For over 90 years, the complete full story of this tragedy remained largely untold until local filmmaker John General set out to reveal what really happened the night that put courage, selflessness and pure heroism to a true test. The film, Extra 1104: The Story of the Rockport Train Wreck, is the only film to ever tell the full story of the disaster that left Rockport, a small rural village with no electricity or medical personnel, shaken for decades.
