This dinner is the first of a series in a project being pursued by our Chef Jon Gilman, the Feast Revival Project.  The goal of this project is to increase community engagement and discourse by promoting the revival of feasts: gatherings centered around seasonal food meant to create a communal setting that societies have depended on for centuries to facilitate social discourse. It will involve a delicious spread of food served family style in your group, along with a curated fun conversation from our guest speaker.  

For this dinner, we welcome Steve Verrill and the Verrill family to talk to us about local farming, the role they’ve played in the local community, how to eat locally in seasonal New England and other fun stories for the farm. Reserve Your Seat Now!
