It's a menu prepared over open flames in full view by artisan chef and farmer Jefferson Munroe. With a focus on cooking with what the land provides, the menu features pasture-raised meats from Munroe's The Good Farm in Columbia and produce straight from the host venue, The Little Dipper Farm.
In addition, Jefferson and his crew will be supported by the team at Stone Row in Willimantic, shaking cocktails and elevating the night into an unforgettable hospitality experience.
