Welcome to our 4th season of farm-to-table dinners!
Join us for an unforgettable evening. Enjoy a thoughtfully-composed 7-course dining experience inspired by hyper-locally grown ingredients. We, Elizabeth Haskett & Linh Aven, are not only chefs but farmers as well, so you know you are in good hands.
Our farmer’s table is a long, communal table nestled in our fields where we serve each course family-style. You may even find yourself sitting next to a farmer who has grown your food.
We grow most of the ingredients for Farmer’s Table right here at Dandelion Forest Farm. What we don’t produce at the farm, we source from our wonderful & local farm partners. The fresh produce is grown without pesticides or herbicides. All of the meat, dairy, & eggs are pasture-raised. We love including wild-foraged foods. And almost all of the ingredients for each meal is produced within Rockingham county.
Arrive early to enjoy a beautiful array of welcome bites. You are welcome to join us for a farm tour -a behind the scenes look at where your meal came from. Once you are seated for dinner, enjoy freshly-baked bread, three vegetable-forward courses, a protein-forward course, & a not-to-be-missed dessert.
Prices are inclusive of farm tour, fees, & hospitality.
Our menus are designed around produce that is at peak harvest so each dinner is unique. See examples of sample menus below. These events do tend to sell out, so make sure to reserve your tickets soon.
We look forward to dining with you!
