About this Event
This August, we’re hosting a special farm-to-table dinner highlighting whole-animal cooking with pasture-raised lamb and beef from right here on the farm, freshly-picked organic veggies, and perfectly paired wines courtesy of Alveare Winery.
You’ll kick off the night with a guided walk through the fields alongside our Director of Agriculture, Eric Popp—he’ll share how we grow and graze with care in the heart of the Snoqualmie Valley. Then, settle in at the table for a multi-course dinner crafted by our culinary team and inspired by the season. This is your chance to meet the folks behind your food—our farmers, chefs, and local partners—and savor the peak of summer in the fresh air. Come hungry, curious, and ready to connect!
Dinner will feature a set menu featuring peak-season ingredients. In partnership with the Good Meat Project, we will be highlighting nose-to-tail cooking—an approach that uses as much of an animal as possible rather than focusing only on familiar steaks or chops. Whole animal cooking reduces waste, honors the life of the animal, and supports more sustainable, responsible farming. This approach also offers deeper flavor, better nutrition, and a stronger connection to where our food comes from.
We will do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions when possible, but minimal substitutions may be available.
✨ Highlights:
- Light appetizers and a welcome cocktail sponsored by Fast Penny Spirits
- Multi-course, chef-driven dinner inspired by the season
- Pasture-raised meats, organic produce, and curated wine pairings from Alveare
- An open-air setting that celebrates the rustic beauty of the farm
This immersive event makes for a perfect romantic date-night, an extra-special night with friends, and a great way to meet people!
