Guest Chef Slow Down Dinner Features Chef Keith Weitzman
Ridge to Reef Farm / Virgin Islands Sustainable Farm Institute’s long-time friend and extraordinaire Chef Keith Weitzman will be back on land for a special night of farm-to-tableculinary creativity. He will be working with the farm's CSA food and the new generation of Ridge to Reef Farm staff and students.
This will be in the middle of VISFI's weekend yoga retreat, so those want to come all day and combine with yoga and physical activities in nature should check out the event announcement on Facebook. Of course, anyone can just come for the dinner. Seats are limited, so please make your reservations asap.
Reach the farm on the newly paved roads through the rainforest on Saturday, May 26, for VISFI’s next Guest Chef Slow Down Dinner. Each seasonal element is infused through six courses, which are chosen from our farm’s certified organic crops and grass fed livestock. In between each dish plating, enjoy brief presentations and stories from the farmers and chefs. Dress is island casual. Arrivals are welcome starting at 6 p.m., and dinner seating is at 6:30 p.m. Seats are limited and are first-come-first serve, reservations and confirmations required. Make reservations instantly with a membership at the online food market http://vi.locallygrown.net/market/index/31665, or leave a clear voice message with the party name, number and contact information at 220-0466 upon which we reply with confirmation. Please remember we have limited seats and any cancellations should be made at least 48 priors prior so we can contact the waiting list.
Show your support for our food production and farming education by making a love offering for the evening of a suggested $60 to $100 per person. Donations go toward organic farm operations and seasonal expenses so Ridge to Farm can increase its capacity to provide more organic food and educational programs to St. Croix. Please consider as well gratuity for your farmer/servers and kitchen staff.
