Ciao, market fans!
It’s Farm to Table Dinner time again and we have a fantastic evening of food, drink, entertainment, and
fellowship lined up for you!
This very special event will be held on Thursday evening, May 23rd, on the beautiful Harborside deck on Front Street in downtown Beaufort. Doors will open at 5:20 for socializing, drinks, and appetizers on the deck overlooking picturesque Taylor’s Creek prior to the meal which will begin at 6:00.
Our three talented chefs: Wendy Park of Beaufort Grocery Company, Jon McGregor of Clawson’s and Aqua Restaurant, and Elizabeth Kopf of Turner St. Market are collaborating this year to create an Italian-themed fine dining experience unlike any before.
The menu features expertly prepared meats, vegetables, and breads from our local market vendors for mouth-watering appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
Adding his own blend of Americana, spiced with country and pop tunes, musician Billy Mutschler, once based in Austin, Texas, now living the good life in Harkers Island, will lend a laid back vibe to top off the evening.
Tickets for this highly anticipated event will sell out quickly, so don’t hesitate to purchase them right away at our Saturday markets or online, to join us for this pleasurable evening highlighting local food and talent.
The OBFM is a 501(c)(3) organization and your tax deductible donation for this dinner ticket will provide scholarships for deserving local students wishing to further their education.
