Wine and cocktails (or mocktails if you prefer) are also included.

You’ll enjoy the ambiance of a beautifully revived Victorian-era manor with classic Italianate architecture, and its gardens and grounds. Local musicians will provide live music for the evening.
This event is this year’s signature Farm + Kitchen fundraiser to support the non profit organization that operates our community markets. The suggested donation is $125 per person. All proceeds will go toward our work putting Real Food Within Reach.
