Chef Munroe will cook a special menu that highlights the bounty of the region, featuring pasture-raised meats, local produce, and artisan dairy grown and crafted by our partnering farms.
The menu will be a collection of dishes and featuring the bounty from our farm partners. Each course will be paired with a beer (and wine) offering.
Inspired by the fall season, we're curating a menu that celebrates the bounty of the harvest.
