Farm to Table 10th Annual Fabulous Feast – Tickets now on sale

submitted by 5 Healthy Towns Foundation

You don’t want to miss out on this year’s Farm to Table Fabulous Feast, Sunday, September 14 at spectacular, sesquicentennial Gee Farms in Stockbridge. This popular event always sells out.

This outdoor celebration highlights our local farms, local chefs, and the 5 Healthy Towns Foundation (5HF) communities coming together to support 5 farmers markets – Chelsea Farmers Market, Dexter Winter Farmers Market, Grass Lake Farmers Market, Manchester Farmers Market, and the Open Air Market in Stockbridge. Tickets are $75 and available online but buy tickets by July 31 and save. Meat and vegetarian entrees are offered.

Kary Gee, owner of family-owned Gee Farms and this year’s event host, knows how important it is to recognize the efforts that continue all year to keep our farms and markets going. “After putting our event on hold because of covid in 2020, we are so honored to work with our Open Air Market of Stockbridge for this event. We are excited to showcase our 800-acre campus, and hope that attendees will enjoy the arboretum which is so beautiful in September.”

Steve Petty, 5HF CEO, adds that “in each of our 5 towns, farmers markets offer more than fresh produce—they create connections between local growers who rely on these markets and families like ours who shop there. The Farm to Table Fabulous Feast brings together farmers, local chefs, and community members to celebrate that relationship. Funds raised help cover the annual operating costs of all five markets. If you haven’t attended before, we hope you’ll join us for a day of fun and fellowship at beautiful Gee Farms as we celebrate how much local food—and local people—matter.”
