5th Annual Celebration of Local Farms
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2008 6:00pm

OUR FULL 2008 PROGRAM WILL FOLLOW SHORTLY
WE ARE NOW TAKING RESERVATIONS FOR DINNER AND LODGING

The Facts: America loses 2 acres of farmland every minute to commercial and residential development and poor food production Our food travels on average 2,000 miles from the farm to our plate, causing a toll on the environment Industrial agricultural systems emphasize chemical solutions (pesticides, fertilizers, and hormones) to biological problems that compromise the quality, taste, freshness and nutritional value of our food To survive and prosper, local farms must have access to a diverse local distribution model and to sustainable agriculture techniques and technologies

Join us for a 5 course feast and help support "Farm to Table"

Our 2006 dinner was a very unique event... We were selected to participate in a new PBS series called The Endless Feast. A 13 part series exploring the Farm to Table movement across the country. We had a wonderful week with the folks from PBS filming here at the inn as well as at our Farmer Partner's places. Here are some pictures from the event
