Farm to Table Dinner

This evening will still be set up to help showcase fresh products from local farms (within 100 miles) and from our own farm to help support the local food movement. Each dinner is prepared by a professional Chef. We would love to invite you to join our family at our farm for an amazing evening of food, wine, music, supporting local farms, and a beautiful atmosphere to just take a walk and enjoy the scenery. Our chef for the September dinner is Chef Gary Hild! We are so excited for Chef Gary to be able to join us for this dinner!

We will continue hosting our dinner in our larger event room to allow for ample spacing. We will seat each party separately vs family style. If you are coming with a group, we are glad to seat your group together. Mask are welcomed but they are not required. Our past dinners have been sold out, so don't wait to book!!! Fall is a beautiful time to join us on the farm! 

We are also so excited about the fact that each one of our Farm to Table Dinners we like to partner with an organization to support. This is an optional time of giving or maybe it will spark your interest to serve with this organization in the future. (Our partner will be announced next week.)

Our menus are planned based off of what is in season, so we try to have our menu completed a few weeks out from the event. We start the evening with appetizers as you arrive. The patio area is open during this time, if weather permits.  We will then move inside to our main hall area for salad, soup, main course and dessert! The dinners are so fresh and delicious! The Chef will also come out and talk about the different courses throughout the evening, and will also demo one part of the evenings courses. This is definitely an experience you  do not want to miss out on!
