The Kitchen at Middleground Farms has become known for our farm-to-table family-style dining, especially in the summertime.
Dinners in the Garden is a four-course, family-style dinner prepared by our team of chefs using ingredients sourced straight from our garden and surrounding farms. Join us and dine alongside friends, family, and neighbors while enjoying a sunset view amid the bustle of dinnertime on the farm!
Doors open at 6 pm and you are welcome to wander the gardens and visit the animals while snacking on small bites. Dinner will start promptly at 6:30, where you will find your designated spot at one of our many options, both inside and out.
Dinner Details
Menu
This seasonal menu will be defined closer to the event, with changes made up to the moment you arrive! That’s the beauty of cooking from the garden. But we will say, it will be in the theme of Lobster Boil! Yes…a great way to transition to Autumn. Don’t worry if you are not a seafood eater…a lobster boil includes beautifully crafted Olympia Provisions sausages that can be cooked separately….
And if you would prefer vegetarian fare… just let us know. Beautiful lobster mushrooms are coming out of the Oregon forest, so you won’t be disappointed!
Please mention dietary restrictions in the comments section of your registration.
Wines
Our sommelier, Jean Householder, will curate a beautiful wine pairing for each course, from your welcome beverage, through four additional courses. We ask that you pre-order the pairing, but it will also be available the night of the dinner. Wine by the bottle is also available that evening.
Seating
Four options are available at each seating:
In the Kitchen Seating
- Chef’s Table – located inside the Kitchen for up to 20 guests, tickets sold individually
- Table for Two – 4 bistro tables with seats for up to 2 guests
In the Garden Seating
- Depending on the number in your party, you will be seated in a Gazebo or Greenhouse. Regardless if you are a party of 2 or 20, you will have your own table to enjoy privately. Indicate whether you are joining any other groups that are registered under a different name so we may seat you together.
NOTE: All Garden seating options are covered. If the weather permits, more seating will be available the week of the event in the Garden & in the Courtyard.
