Dinner in the Orchard
Dinner in the Orchard has become a farm favorite and we love seeing everyone gather at the long farm table to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and “just because!” There is nothing like creative cuisine shared with good family and friends all while nestled in our orchards. Our local catering partners will be serving up only the finest of local ingredients and we have expanded to seat up to 50 people at each dinner. We can’t wait to get the season rolling!

Afternoon Tea in the Orchard
To kick off our 2019 event series, we hosted a tea party in the orchard during peak bloom season. The setting could not have been more perfect and the dainty details added the perfect touch to this English inspired afternoon.

A sample from 2023
2023 was a test of our patience with constant rain! Despite all that, we were still able to pull off some beautiful evenings with perfect food and the most wonderful of guests! Brownsville Butcher and Pantry served up the most delicious of cuisine using their philosophy of supporting local agriculture and creating a sustainable food system.
Friends Dinner in the Orchard
We moved into our dinner events with a delicious meal shared with a close knit group of friends, many of whom were soon to move away. It was celebratory and everyone left with fond memories of friendship and time well spent in the Upper Valley.
Birthday at Sunset
We were asked to host a special birthday and we could not have enjoyed it more. It was a hot day and showers came in but left just in time for the party to start! We were not taking any chances though and used some small tents to make sure guests stayed dry.
Amy’s 40.5 Birthday Party
Amy turned 40 during the height of the pandemic and was not able to celebrate this milestone birthday so she decided to throw a half-birthday party in the summer months when all of her family and friends could be vaccinated and gather safely. The weather was perfect and the night could not have been more magical.

Dinner in the Orchard-a corporate event
We were approached by a local company entertaining some out of town executives to host a special event. They had a day of outings scheduled and wanted to end with one of our dinners. It was August so the evening temps were mild and the decor gave a nod to the impending season at the farm.
Autumn Pop Up Dinner in the Orchard
Upon reflection, this was our favorite dinner. The details were meticulously planned from the recycled wool blankets to the farm inspired floral arrangements to the sticky toffee pudding. The setting felt seasonal and cozy despite the late autumn temps.

Benefit Dinner in the Flower Fields
The flower fields had been a great setting for a family dinner so we decided to host one of our dinner events in it too! This dinner was a benefit for WISE with all the profits from the dinner going to this local organization. The flowers were bright and the sunset was magical-we could not have asked for a more colorful evening.
Holiday Dinner in the Barn
We couldn’t resist one last hurrah! The holiday season brings on feelings of warmth from wood stoves and the desire to find intimate spaces to interact with friends and family while celebrating. The barn provided such a setting and we could not have been more pleased with the laughter and joy that came from this special dinner.
