Heirloom Harvest Barn Dinner

October 11, 2009 at 4pm

In the barn at Berry Hill and Meadow’s Mirth Farms, Stratham, NH

Come celebrate the bounty of the Seacoast region, our rich agricultural history, farmer-chef connections and the RAFT Grow-Out project.

The celebration will feature a multi-course, seated meal in a historic four-story barn overlooking picturesque Berry Hill and Meadow’s Mirth Farms in Stratham, NH.  Led by chef Evan Mallett of the Black Trumpet Bistro, Grow-Out participant chefs will each prepare a course for the meal highlighting heirloom vegetables from local Grow-Out participant farmers.  Complete with locally produced beverages and live bluegrass emanating from the hayloft, it is sure to be a night to remember.
