Feast Revival Project Dinner No.2 @ Verril Farm

true west event @ Verril Farm

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!

Harry Potter Jigsaw Jam @ True West

TRUES WEST BREWING CO EVENT

It’s time to summon your wizarding spirit and meet at True West for Jigsaw Jam—because who wouldn’t want to spend an evening piecing together a magical scene from the world of Harry Potter? Gather your team of up to 4 (think Harry, Hermione, Ron, and...maybe Hagrid?) and compete in an intense, Hogwarts-worthy challenge to complete a 300-piece puzzle faster than Harry catching the Golden Snitch.

There are two enchanted prizes up for grabs: one for the first team to complete the border (because true puzzle wizards know the edges are key) and another for the first to finish the whole thing—just like Dobby knitting his last sock. And don’t worry, even if you don’t win, you’ll still get to keep the puzzle and relive the magical experience.

All teams will be building the same puzzle, so it’s fair play—no tricks from Fred and George! Tickets are $45 per team, less than a Galleon but worth every Knut. So bring your friends, wands optional, and join us at True West Brewery for Jigsaw Jam. Let’s see if you’re the Hermione Granger of puzzles, or maybe a bit of a Ron Weasley!

Reserve you tickets here.
