Our meals are crafted around the freshest seasonal ingredients, meaning menus may change as we get closer to the event. When booking, please share any dietary restrictions so we can best accommodate your needs. Guests will have the option to choose between a Vegetarian or Carnivore meal. While we do our best to honor requests, dietary restrictions not noted in advance may not always be accommodated. Please note that our kitchen is not allergen-free and regularly uses ingredients such as gluten, nuts, fish, and dairy.

All Farm Dinners require purchasing of tickets in advance, with full payment due at the time of booking. Please note that tickets are non-refundable. If you’re unable to attend your booked event, you’re welcome to transfer your tickets to friends. We also maintain a waitlist in case of cancellations; will do our best to assist in reselling your tickets.

With our communal dining tables, we encourage conversations that lead to deeper connections and community across guest parties.

For our Farm Dinner Series the ticket price includes an expertly curated beverage pairing for each course. You can choose between either a Spirited or Spirit-free pairing.”

Farmview Dinners are located in our newly renovated, cozy indoor dining space. Our Feasts in the Field are in the garden, in the open air – you may want to bring a hat and sunglasses. Our Feast in the Forest is under an open-sided tent, which may be breezy. Layers are recommended for all Dinners and seasons as our PNW nights tend to come with a drop in temp.

Our Farm Dinner dining experiences range from 2-4 hours, and we do not offer discounted ticket prices based on guest age. Additionally, at this time, we do not have special seating, separate menus, or activities for young children at these meals. Supervised youth who are actively interested in joining the conversation around fine dining, food systems, and regenerative agriculture are welcome!
