Join us for our second annual farm tour fundraiser!
The evening will include cocktails, small plates in three courses, a chance to mingle with the farmers, and a hay ride and farm tour. We are thrilled to be hosted by Black Locust Gardens, a farm dedicated to sustainable agriculture.
We’re also thrilled to have some talented folks working on the menu! You’ll see Jude Walser (Alley Bar) mixing drinks, and Chefs Chris Chiapelli (Black Pearl, Ross School of Business) and Chris Huey (Brecon Grille & Pub) creating delicious small plates.
