An on-going series of experiential dining experiences

The Meet Your Farmer dinner series pairs local farmers and ranchers with local restaurants for an unforgettable experience. The chosen chef prepares the meal using as many of the featured farmer’s products as possible, supplemented by other local ingredients. Diners are treated to a presentation from the featured farmer about their farm and the products that were used during the lovingly prepared meal. This program builds farm to chef relationships to promote the locality of food not just in our homes, but throughout our community.
