FARM TO TABLE SPRING FUNDRAISER AT THE GNC, Sunday, June 22nd from 4pm-7pm
Come to the Greenburgh Nature Center for their 2nd Annual Farm to Table dinner and wine tasting fundraiser on Sunday, June 22 from 4pm-7pm. Guests enjoy seasonal fare from local restaurants, bakeries and wineries. All signups are online. Go to the homepage and click on Farm to Table. Hurry—only a limited number of tickets are still available!
Guests have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal from an assortment of local restaurants and bakeries listed below that promote using locally grown products and provide seasonal fare. In addition, wineries from the Hudson Valley region showcase their award winning wines. GNC’s natural setting provides a lovely and elegant backdrop for this special evening.
When you arrive at the event, you’ll be greeted by the GNC team and invited to start your evening with appetizers and a glass of award winning, local wine from the Hudson Valley region. You’ll have an opportunity to stroll around the grounds and learn about our animals, exhibits and educational programs from GNC Naturalists and interns.
After appetizers, you’ll gather around long tables to enjoy a meal prepared by several local restaurants and bakeries that provide seasonal fare and promote using locally grown products. Participants walk around to the different stations, each featuring a different restaurant. Each menu item includes ingredients harvested or sourced fresh from local area farms and will be accompanied by local wines. Throughout the meal, you can speak with the different local Chefs as well as the wine makers who provided the evening’s meal.
In an effort to reinforce GNC’s mission and sustainability message, we are asking everyone to bring their own dinnerware (china, glasses, silverware). There is an opportunity to rinse them off before you pack them up to bring them home. We have been diligently working to reduce waste and you will be helping us to do this.
GNC is a nature preserve, complete with uneven dirt trails and a grass Great Lawn. You will be touring the grounds and dinner will be served outdoors (under a tent if necessary), at tables set up on the Great Lawn, so please dress comfortably and casually, and wear practical shoes. Dinner will be held rain or shine, and evenings can be chilly, so wear or bring a sweater and/or jacket and appropriate layers. The event is held outside, so if the weather is nice, don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses and hats.
The cost per person is $100 for members, $150 for Non-members. Children over 12 years old can attend at the per person rate; childcare is available for an additional fee for ages 2-12. Seating is very limited so sign up online today to reserve your spot. See website to register.
