Long ago, icy glaciers pushed stones from far-away mountaintops into the New England soil. While fieldstone became the folklore of poets like Robert Frost, the labor of moving stones by hand pushed Colonial farmers westward. Support the rugged holdouts that remain farming! Food Slabs start out life as hand gathered fieldstones from working New York and New England farms. They are then hand sliced and polished at American Stonecraft's Lowell, Massachusetts Art Studio. Each is sawn to about 1/2" inches thick, with each piece offering a unique shape and color. The Banquet size is approximately 12" in diameter. The dense quartzitic stone is commonly called granite and often considered metamorphic. Each slab is sealed with an EU approved food-safe stain-resistant seal, has clear silicone bumpers to protect your table, and the particular farm it was gathered from is stamped on the underside. This stamp also contains a hyperlink to an image slideshow about the farm and the harvest when the stone was gathered. American Stonecraft is a Lowell, MA art studio telling the story of a land that grows rocks, and the farmers who battle them. We do this by making a line of serving wares from fieldstones gathered at rocky New England farms. On the underside of each good we create, we hyperlink to a farm-specific biography and slideshow of the fieldstone harvest.
