The Trustees of Reservations invite all who are interested to attend The Inn at Castle Hill’s 4th Annual sustainable “Farm to Fork” Chef Dinners, the first of which is being held on October 27th on The Crane Estate in Ipswich, located at 280 Argilla Road. Connection with local foods is a simple but important theme for this year’s series, in which top area Chefs will create a unique blending of the freshest local produce and meats from Appleton Farms.The Pre-fixe Four-Course dinners will be prepared by some of the top chefs in the region who have generously donated their time for this sustainable event series.

The Thursday dinners will begin with an open bar and the first course of hors d’oeuvre served fireside in the Tavern located next to The Inn at Castle Hill on the Crane Estate at 6 PM, followed by a three-course meal with paired wines served at The Inn at Castle Hill. The event, including tips and taxes, is $125 per person, and features Marco Suarez (below), Executive Chef at Jamaica Plain’s newest neighborhood spot, Canary Square. Seating is limited and reservations are required. Proceeds will go to the ongoing preservation of The Crane Estate.
