Spirits were high at the Natick Community Organic Farm Harvest Dinner fundraiser, the first large-scale in-person event at NCOF in three years. The evening was a chance for the community to join together for a fabulous, locally sourced meal prepared by chef Dave Becker’s team from Sweet Basil in Needham and Juniper in Wellesley.
The farm kept things close to home this year, “…the first time we held it on the farm, as far as we can tell,” NCOF Communications Coordinator Erin O’Brien said.After the auction portion of the evening was complete, the food took center stage. Diners were treated to hand-pulled mozzarella creamy polenta, home-made apple crumble, and more, all served outdoors under twinkle lights. Beer from Exhibit A in Framingham flowed, and Bully Boy Booze provided hand-crafted cocktails.
The farm thanks all of the teens and volunteers who gave their time and energy helping make the Harvest Dinner look effortless, and for transforming the farm into the most incredible backdrop.
