Experience the magic of our urban farm while enjoying a meal specially prepared on site by a guest chef. This three part dinner series features well known local culinary talent and benefits Growing Hope.

Each evening is its own unique experience, crafted from beginning to end by the guest chefs talents and tastes. The evening begins with an appetizer and cocktail hour and live music featuring Matt Jones. Guests will then be seated in our hoophouse and served the meal of a lifetime.
