June 28, 2025 - The Kitchen at Middleground Farms

An Evening of Seasonal Food, Fine Wine & Farmstead Hospitality

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the farm with our Dinners in the Garden series—a celebration of seasonal ingredients, shared meals, and the vibrant community that gathers around the table.

Gates open at 5:30 PM, allowing you time to stroll the grounds, visit with the animals, and enjoy a welcome bite alongside a glass of our house-made sangria. Dinner begins promptly at 6:00 PM.

You’ll enjoy a four-course, family-style meal thoughtfully prepared by our team of chefs, highlighting ingredients harvested straight from our garden and neighboring farms. Enhance your experience with a curated wine pairing by Jean, or explore our Wine Barn and select a bottle from our handpicked list.

Dine alongside friends, family, and neighbors while the sun sets over the fields, and experience the warmth, flavor, and connection that only a true farm dinner can offer.

Dinner Details

Wines

Our sommelier, Jean Householder, curates a thoughtful wine pairing to complement each course of the evening’s menu. The pairing includes four wines, selected to highlight the seasonal flavors of the meal, available for an additional $50 per guest.

We kindly ask that you pre-order your wine pairing when purchasing tickets, though a limited number will also be available the night of the dinner.

Prefer to choose your own bottle? You’re welcome to explore our Wine Barn, featuring a curated list of exceptional bottles available for purchase throughout the evening.
