Community Baking Day with Brick Oven Brooklyn

A baked apple tart

Come join your neighbors at the outdoor wood-fired oven at the Old Stone House.

You can bring any dish or recipe — from bread to chicken, from cookies to pie.

You don’t have to share what you bake, but you will find many willing taste-testers! Kids are welcome and generally have a great time. Non-bakers are also welcome to come hang out and volunteer for taste-testing duty!

Firing the oven will start around 9am, and we’ll bake from noon-ish until 4pm. Drop by any time! Keep in mind, when it gets busy there may be a wait of an hour or so until a spot opens up in the oven.

We’ll be standing around outside the entire time, so be sure to dress with that in mind. The weather can be unpredictable. We will bake even if it is cold or raining, as long as it is calm out. However, if it is windy we may cancel.

Community Baking Day with Brick Oven Brooklyn

A baked apple tart

Come join your neighbors at the outdoor wood-fired oven at the Old Stone House.

For this event, neighbor Zeke Goulbourne will lead OSH’s Community Baking Day to prepare food for members of Squad 1, our local firehouse located on Union Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. Zeke has traditionally cooked for members of the firehouse in preparation for the annual 5k Tunnel to Tower Run, which was established in honor of Stephen Stiller, a Squad 1 firefighter who perished in 9/11.

We are inviting members of the meet-up to come and cook with Zeke at OSH’s wood fired oven. You can prepare any of your favorite dishes to share with Squad 1 and other first responders for their evening meal in advance of the run on September 29, and, as always, to share with other meet-up members. There will be foil containers available for dishes prepared for the firefighters. A fire engine will come by to pick up the food donation at 4 pm.

Firing the oven will start around 9am, and we’ll bake from noon-ish until 4pm. Drop by any time! Keep in mind, when it gets busy there may be a wait of an hour or so until a spot opens up in the oven.

We’ll be standing around outside the entire time, so be sure to dress with that in mind. The weather can be unpredictable. We will bake even if it is cold or raining, as long as it is calm out. However, if it is windy we may cancel.

Harvest Happy Hour – Cancelled Due to Predicted High Winds

We’re disappointed that we’re not going to be able to revel in the best of autumn for our first Harvest Happy Hour, but with the predicted high winds for tomorrow night, running the oven could be unpredictable and dangerous.

We’ll reschedule another time to enjoy handmade pizza from our wood-fired oven, cocktails courtesy of Fort Hamilton Whiskey, and crisp hard cider pressed from Green-Wood Cemetery’s apples by Proper Cider – surrounded by the beautiful scenery at Washington Park.

Thanks for your support and hope to see you soon!

Reading & Rugelach with local author Fran Hawthorne

Award-winning author and Brooklynite Fran Hawthorne brings her debut novel The Heirs to the Old Stone House, along with free multi-cultural refreshments.
The Heirs tells the story of how a New Jersey soccer mom — the daughter of a Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivor — becomes obsessed with the Polish-Catholic family of her 9-year-old son’s soccer teammate.
Rosanne Korenberg, co-executive producer of the Oscar-winning film I, Tonya, calls The Heirs “a compelling read.”
The $5 admission to “Reading & Rugelach” includes an array of Jewish, Polish, and all-American snacks provided by Erica’s Rugelach & Baking Co. and other local bakers, and helps support the historic Old Stone House. Tickets available here.
Books will be available for purchase, which the author will happily sign.
For everyone’s protection, attendance will be limited to 30, and the Old Stone House is requesting that all attendees wear masks and show proof of Covid-19 vaccination at the door.
Until now, Hawthorne spent years as a journalist and nonfiction author focusing on business ethics, consumer activism, health care, and finance -– on staff at BusinessWeek, Fortune, Crain’s New York Business, and the Bergen (NJ) Record, and as a freelancer for The New York Times, Newsday, and many other publications.
But she’s always been writing novels in her spare time. The Heirs was inspired by a classmate of her son’s at PS 321 in Park Slope, along with her own father’s and grandparents’ escape from Poland less than two years before the Nazi invasion.
