Dinners at the farm

Last Friday Alex and I attended a Dinners at the Farm Event at White Gate Farm in East Lyme, CT. Here are some of the photographs we

took:

Our delicious menu was created by Jonathan Rapp or

River Tavern Restaurant in Chester, CT.

The food was prepared on grills set up on these old school trucks.

Dinner was served at long communal tables under a tent in an open field.

The family style dinning offered a chance to meet new people while celebrating local food.

Doesn’t that look good? A watermelon cantaloupe tomato salad with feta was our first course.

How often do you have the chance to eat by corn fields?

White Gate Farm was established in 1974, sits on over a 100 acres of land and has been

certified organic for 11 years.

Before dinner guests mingled over sangria and hor d'oeuvres.

We meet White Gate’s resident sheep during a pre-dinner tour of the farm.
