Join us for an unforgettable summer evening celebrating seasonal abundance, exceptional cuisine, and meaningful connections to the land. Set among the beautiful gardens of the Greenacres Arts Center, this elegant farm-to-table experience will feature a five-course, chef-crafted menu by Lobsta Bakes of Maine, inspired by culinary traditions from around the world and thoughtfully paired with exceptional wines.
The evening begins with a garden cocktail hour featuring light bites, an open bar, and opportunities to explore the gardens while connecting with members of the Greenacres Research Team. Guests will learn about current research initiatives focused on topics such as soil health, nutrition, ecology, the Greenacres Research Grant Program, and the release of the endangered American Burying Beetle.
Following the cocktail hour, guests will be seated for a thoughtfully curated five-course dinner featuring peak-season ingredients grown just steps away in Greenacres’ gardens and pastures.
