This is an outdoor event a working farm. There will be a brief tour before dinner, so wear shoes you can walk in for about half an hour. Shane and I like to dress for a nice dinner out, and that's exactly what this is!
**Meal preferences section below has been corrected** This event is optional. Ridge-to-Reef organic farm hosts a “slow-down dinner” once every two weeks, and it is one of our favorite things to do with visiting guests. They have a different farm-to-table menu every week, and it is always fabulous. Dinner will start with a brief tour of the farm (about half an hour). There are typically 5 to 6 courses, with vegetarian options always available. They introduce each course, using the opportunity to talk about the farm and the harvest. Musical entertainment is provided during dinner, and at the end of the night, they light up a giant fireball for all to enjoy. This is a unique experience in a mountain rainforest setting. Nate and his team at the farm have agreed to host a special slow-down dinner for us, and Shane and I hope to see you there! The farm suggests donations of $75 per person. Proceeds support the farm’s school lunch program for St. Croix schoolchildren. Drinks are BYOB.
4:00 pm - 10:00 pm
