Join us Thursday, September 30th for an intimate evening with the Gammie family, along with local home cook, Dena Fisher and family at the orchard. We’ll be dishing up the dirt for a seasonal supper at Quarry Hill Orchard and Farm to honor the beautiful flavors of fall. Bounties of apples, squash, delicate herbs, local meats and cheeses will bring us together around the table right in the heart of the apple orchard.
Quarry Hill wine pairings will accompany each of the four courses in an expertly crafted meal by Dena Fisher, owner of Dena’s Table and creator of Dinner In. Drawing on her experience of growing up in the garden, Dena’s food represents her love for the earth and her philosophy that food connects us to one another and to our communities.
