Moth Lighting Night at The Silo! 

Discover the life that emerges after dark with the Housatonic Valley Association during a moth lighting event at The Silo at Hunt Hill Farm in New Milford, CT! From 7 to 9 pm, we'll slowly unlock the incredible diversity of insects that emerge when the sun sets on this beautiful Connecticut property and learn about their habits, life cycles, and what we can do to keep their populations healthy. Connect with the natural world you might not normally get to see through the beautiful, grotesque, and fascinating tiny creatures that come to visit! Participants of all ages are welcome!

What is a moth lighting?

During a nighttime moth lighting, a light is shone on a blank surface to attract moths and other insects! Once they land, the moths can be identified, observed, and appreciated. Over 2,000 species of moths have been spotted in Connecticut! 

Housatonic Valley Association

The only conservation organization dedicated to the entire tri-state Housatonic Watershed, the Housatonic Valley Association acts to protect the natural character and environmental health of the region, from the Berkshires to Long Island Sound, through restoration projects, land protection, and educational programs.

Feijoada isn’t just food—it’s Brazil in a bowl. Join the Carioca - Alessandro Piovezahn and learn how to craft this iconic black bean and pork stew, loaded with smoky Brazilian sausages, tender pork loin, smoked pork ribs and the bold flavors that make it a national treasure.

But the feast is just getting started. Imagine this: golden, crispy pork cracklings that shatter with every bite, cassava fries with just the right amount of crunch, and fluffy white rice to soak up all that rich, soulful stew. Bright, juicy orange slices add a pop of freshness, while vibrant sautéed collard greens bring earthy balance to the table. Smoked pork chops deliver a deep, smoky hit, and warm, garlicky bread dares you to take another bite. Toss in a sprinkle of toasted cassava flour for a nutty finish that ties it all together. And of course, no Brazilian spread is complete without a zesty Caipirinha in hand and the sweet, creamy crescendo of Pudim de Leite Condensado to close the night. 

This class goes beyond cooking—it’s a celebration of culture, flavor, and life. Sign up, roll up your sleeves, and bring a slice of Rio to your kitchen!
