2017 Farm-to-Table Dinner Series
Saturdays: May 27, June 10, June 24, July 8, July 22 (*If severe weather is imminent, dates will be postponed).
We invite you to come get to know our community and landscape in the beautiful South Toe Valley – the base of the stunning Black Mountains- tallest on the east coast!
Talented South Toe-area chef, Eric Brown, utilizes the freshest ingredients from Open Ridge and other local farmers to create a casual, family-friendly dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. As well, enjoy time just to chill and disconnect, play games (kids and grown-ups alike!), and stroll through the garden and budding orchard.
Each dinner will have two seatings, with time before or after for just relaxing on the farm or exploring area trails, should you choose.
Supporting Local Community
We sincerely appreciate your support of our rural community – farmers, chefs, artists, and friends involved with the dinner will all benefit. In addition, we will also donate 10% off the top to a Yancey County non-profit focused on providing food and opportunities for our neighbors.
There will be two seatings, each 25-30 people, at 4 PM and 6 PM. For the early group, we invite you to hang out afterwards and enjoy the farm. For the later group, come early!
Menu
Each dinner will have a meat and vegetarian option. Dinners will include herbal iced tea or water, light appetizers, entree, and dessert. BYOB.
Tickets will be available for purchase in advance only, from their website.
