A Seat At The Table

The inaugural “A Seat at the Table” local food feast and fundraising celebration will be held in the Poughkeepsie Farm Project farm fields. This unique event will be an al fresco dinner celebration that brings together everyone from local farmers, chefs and food artisans, to members of the community and sitting them all together to explore the connection between the earth and the food on our plate. Guests will sit at long, linen-draped tables in the middle of the fields, while sipping local wines and eating a five-course family style meal prepared by Megan and Charlie Fells of The Artist's Palate, two of the Hudson Valley’s celebrated chefs, using only fresh, local ingredients for the meal. Participants of the fundraiser will also be given a tour of the farm and will have a chance to view educational materials and exhibits set up about the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, food and farming. The main purpose of this event is to honor the people whose good work brings nourishment to the table and to celebrate The Poughkeepsie Farm Project, its connection to the community and its work towards a just and sustainable food system.

This is a BYOP event: Bring Your Own Plate. Bring that special plate with you for an even more memorable meal. Plates will be used for the main course and will be washed and returned to you at the conclusion of the meal.
