The current pandemic has left us longing for the opportunity to share a meal with family, friends and community. When it is safe to do so, farm dinners will be held again with Nourishing the North Shore. We look forward to welcoming you!!
In the summer of 2017 I hosted a farm dinner series at my home. This idea came about after spending the winter months enraged and anxious about the proposed cuts to the funding of critical programs that are key to the quality of life for so many in our communities. I've long wanted to find a way to have the farm be more engaged in the community beyond the interactions of merely selling a product. Farm dinners are an opportunity for people to come together and listen to one another, and enjoy beautifully prepared food grown here on the farm.
All proceeds from tickets went towards an organization doing great work here in the North Shore.
"The Other Cape" wrote an article about our dinners! Read it here.
The Dates and Details:
Come enjoy a simple, farm fresh meal at our home. The dinners will begin at 5:30p.m. with an hour to meet, greet and enjoy the early evening. Then we will settle on the porch for a seasonal meal of Plough in the Stars vegetables and other local food. Seats are limited. Rain or Shine.
