Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear and what should I bring?
Dinner is literally at the Farm. Therefore, the terrain will be uneven,
dusty, and possibly muddy so please wear practical shoes. Dress is
typically casual, but most importantly we urge you to dress comfortably.
Dinners
will be held rain or shine, so please wear or bring appropriate layers.
Sunscreen, parasols, sweaters/wraps and sunglasses are all appropriate
accessories. Also, given the season, time of day and our various
locations, it can’t hurt to pack some bug spray as well – just
in case.
What happens at the dinners – what time do they begin
and how long do they last into the night?
The evenings begin with cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvre at around
6:00pm. As people arrive, guests are then seated on wooden benches under
a tent at two long tables and dine by candlelight. A typical dinner consists
of approximately six courses (some family style) and usually last three
to four hours. In addition, the dinners provide a wonderful opportunity
to meet and talk with local farmers whose food you will be enjoying,
the evenings’ host(s) as well as the non-profit beneficiary who
will be receiving a percentage of each dinner’s proceeds.

price?
The price of the dinner is $130 per person, which includes passed

know that a percentage of the proceeds for each dinner will be
donated to that evening's non-profit partner.
