Last season here at the farm I tested the waters for having monthly farm to table dinners and they were a hit!  While I had so much fun flexing my culinary skills during the farming season, it was also a lot of work keeping up!  This season in the effort of simplifying this event I will move away from a plated 3 or 4 course format to a family style meal.

Since River House Farm has two full time farmers now, myself and my boyfriend, we are also excited to offer outdoor movies projected on the barn after supper.  We both love spending as much time as we can outdoors and what better way to end a delicious farm fresh meal than by laying out a comfy blanket and few pillows and watching a movie under the stars?

Month to month the movie and the food will follow a theme.  Think along the lines of a farm to table Italian meal followed by “La Dolce Vita” or Southern style meal followed by “Fried Green Tomatoes”.

Movies begin at Dusk.  Please bring your own blanket or low to the ground beach style chairs or loungers for the movie.  Mosquito spray advised.

Keeping with last year’s theme, the dinners are the LAST Sunday of every month.  The 2016 dates for Farm to Table Dinner and Movie are:

Everything But the Kitchen Sink Farm Fresh Dinner followed by the documentary “Back To Eden”

At this point in the season, EVERYTHING on the farm is in FULL flourish, this is truly harvest season.  This meal will be chosen a week or two before the dinner and will include a literal smorgasbord of all the farm has to offer in full bloom.

“Back to Eden” is a mesmerizing look into Natural Process Farming.  It’s what we here at River House Farm aspire to and it emphasizes the farmers connection to the natural world and our responsibility to restore health and vitality back to the soils in which we grow.
