Through this meal, we wish to highlight the wonderful products and talents of local producers. The Farm to Table meal with provide a connection between our local farmers and the community. Our menu will feature a full meal made up of ingredients sourced locally.

Tickets for the Farm to Table Dinner can be purchased at the link below. Tickets are $25.00 and include an appetizer, entree, dessert, and drink from locally sourced producers.
