Supper Club II: September at Greensgrow

We love these photos by Paul Gargagliano of Hazel Photo from our fabulous September supper club at Greensgrow Farms; an urban farm with a mission to revitalize livable communities through the practice of sustainable entrepreneurial urban agriculture.

Our menu ideas for Greensgrow flew together immediately after picking the venue – a colorful urban farm experiencing the height of September’s harvest gave us a strong foundation. We knew that a tomato board with fresh, stuffed, confited and roasted tomatoes would start the evening out. Then Greensgrow’s stellar greens would be the basis for our family style build-your-own salad with ground cherry vinaigrette, concord grape ranch and more. Hickory smoked chicken with potato-beet latkes would be the hightlight of the menu, with more farm-to-table dishes rounding out to a beautiful meal. With Milkshake the Greensgrow pig keeping us company of course.
