Join us the evening of Friday, August 21st at The Henry for a fantastic farm to table event inspired by Ohio’s summer harvest!
We’ll gather to celebrate local foods and to support the Keller Market House and Lancaster Farmers Market. You’ll enjoy a one-of-a-kind tasting menu showcasing the best of the season’s bounty and the company of our local food community.
You’ll start the evening inside the historic manor house for hors d’oeuvres. Then you’ll move outside to enjoy the lovely grounds and an al fresco dinner of generously portioned, tapas-style small plates carefully curated to highlight our local producers.
If you would like to enjoy wine with your meal, wine will be for sale by the glass throughout the evening. We’ll partner with Mirabelle Farm & Vineyard of Ashville, OH, to highlight their local small-batch wines.
Live woodwind music will be provided by local flute choir Flutasia, as well as acoustic guitar by Joe Warino. The intimate setting and our communal seating for dinner will invite camaraderie so you can make new connections with your fellow guests.
Each year, these events are a magical opportunity to savor our connections to local agricultural traditions and the community that has grown to support our farmers and producers. We hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable evening!
About the venue: The Henry has a long and beloved history in Lancaster as a wedding and event venue. You’ll enjoy the ambiance of a beautifully revived Victorian-era manor with classic Italianate architecture, and its gardens and grounds.
Harvest at The Henry is our signature annual fundraiser that supports the non profit organization behind our community markets – the Keller Market House & Lancaster Farmers Market. All proceeds will go toward our work putting Real Food Within Reach.
