Who doesn't love a good, wholesome fundraiser? See below for information from the Fondy Farmers' Market webpage about their big shindig coming up on the 24th of August. Chef Greg Leon will be serving pork from our organic-fed hogs. Yum! To sign up, follow the link above.
Imagine the abundance of a Wisconsin farm on a late August evening: tall corn, bursting tomatoes, bright peppers, sprawling squash vines, and fireflies darting among the plants. Now add in a delicious, multi-course meal prepared by Milwaukee's finest farm-to-table chefs, cocktails, and dessert and you've got yourself a Fondy Farm Feast. Please join us as we celebrate food and community at the 2014 Fondy Farm Feast.
Date and Time: Sunday, August 24, 2014 3:30 pm- twilight (Farm tours begin at 3:30 pm; dinner begins at 5:15 pm). Event takes place rain or shine.
Location: Fondy Farm, 821 County Highway P, Port Washington, WI 53004
Tickets:* $125 per person, advance purchase only.
In addition to an amazing meal, the Fondy Farm Feast includes tractor-led farm tours, conversations with chefs and farmers, and great local music. Free parking on the farm. Dress is farm casual: jeans and boots are just fine! All guests receive a commemorative 2014 Feast glass.
Diners have a choice of vegan, vegetarian, or no preference. You will be asked to indicate your dietary preference when you purchase on-line.
