Locavore’s Meet Your Farmer Dinners are a series of dining experiences that pair local farmers with chefs from rotating local restaurants. The goal of this seasonal program is to build farmer-chef relationships, making mutually beneficial industry connections that last with the purpose of promoting strong community access to locally produced food we can trust.
The chosen chef prepares a multi-course meal using as many of the featured farmer’s products as possible, supplemented by other local ingredients. Our guests are treated to a presentation from the featured farmers about their farm and how the delicious food on your plate went from farm to table. You don’t want to miss this!
