You are invited to The FARM Institute’s annual auction and celebration Meals in the Meadow on Saturday, July 18th held under the stars in the pastoral setting of Katama Farm in Edgartown, MA.
This year The FARM is pulling out all the stops to celebrate nine years of reconnecting children and adults to the land, animals and each other. Indulge in priceless auction items, eat locally grown food prepared by some of the Island’s best chefs and dance your boots off with The Cattle Drivers and other local musicians.
Island auctioneer celebrity and auctioneer Trippy Barnes will be taking the reins of the live and silent auction.
Throughout the evening there will be plenty of food to sustain your soul. From sushi to oysters to chocolate desserts to smoked tomato martinis and everything in between your appetite will be more then satisfied.
This year’s event will feature a full buffet dinner prepared by Buckley Gourmet Catering. Appetizers will be served where patrons can sample a variety of delicious items from some of the Island’s most renowned chefs. As always, the menu will work to offer enticing, locally grown foods, which showcase the Island. Contact Rob at 508-627-7007 for exact time and directions, or email him at rob@farminstitute.org.
