Saltbox Farm Field Dinner

Saltbox Farm

Saltbox Kitchen is dishing up some of the best of New England’s summer harvest at their farm-to-table dinner scheduled for Friday, August 13th. Chef-farmer Ben Elliott took up his family’s longstanding agricultural tradition when he moved to his grandparents’ farm in 2004. Since then, he’s expanded Saltbox Farm to include a CSA program, cooking school and catering business, all using the freshest ingredients he can get his mitts on.

Reserve your spot at this celebration of the season’s bounty to start with hors d’oeuvres of Saltbox Farm lamb ropa vieja (a national dish of Cuba) with beet bellini, lime crema and pickled onions, oysters on the half shell and fresh cherry tomatoes with whipped goat cheese crostinis. A buffet dinner follows with googies like summer veggie bruschetta, a big pile of tomatoes, confit carrots and porchetta with braised greens, parmesan and salsa verde. There’ll be artisanal beers or wine to go along with your meal — all for $164 per person (including tax). Get your tickets online here before Wednesday August, 11th to ensure you get a spot at their elegantly rustic table.
