On Monday, August 31, come to a fabulous collaboration between Bay End Farm in Buzzards Bay and The Blue Room in Cambridge. Know your roots! Go back to the “farm to table” movement – the Bay End Farm is putting one long table back in the middle of the farm. Join them amidst the beautiful farm of organic vegetables. You will be sitting anywhere from just a few feet to a few miles from where your dinner will be sourced and only yards from where it will be prepared. The hosts will be setting up the table out in the field and under the sun on a gorgeous late afternoon to feast on what the earth has offered. A farm tour begins at 3 pm, and the four course menu paired with organic wines dinner begins at 4. Cost is $75 per person ($65 if a Bay End Farm CSA member), and please note this is a bring your own plate event. The Blue Room chef Jorge Lopes will present his best work, and all proceeds from the dinner will facilitate Bay End Farm’s efforts to build their farm stand kitchen.
