SEAR. SIP. SAVOR.
Join us around the fire pit on the Farmstead lawn. Over the last decade, our Live Fire Guest Chef series has welcomed a diverse roster of chefs from across the world and we are looking forward to another summer of incredible dinners.
Our guest chefs will work alongside our executive chef Stephen Barber and our entire culinary team to roast, smoke and sear a family-style feast served right from the flames thoughtfully paired with Long Meadow Ranch wines.
This series benefits the Timothy W. Hall Foundation. Since 1997, the foundation has been dedicated to supporting innovative programs in arts and sciences, including school gardens, animal husbandry projects, and music curriculum.
