Farm to Table Dinner

August 14, 2014

I had the pleasure of attending a beautiful Farm to Table dinner last week.

P1050023

The event raised money for the Block Island branch of the Nature Conservancy.

P1040985

It was held on a stunning piece of preserved property, showcasing the benefits of conservation.

P1040987

My friends on the committee let me help set up for the event, so I got a lot of behind the scene shots!

P1050011

Local Block Island vegetables, flowers and fruit decorated all of the farm tables for the 100 guests.

It was amazing to watch all of the raw island ingredients assembled into the beautiful decor inside the tent!

The committee hard at work.

I kept ditching my responsibilities to go look at the view….

The evening turned out to be stunning.

P1050030 P1050032

Mother Nature definitely cooperated after a few thunderstorms rolled through in the afternoon.

P1050034

The Farm to Table committee (chaired by Gail Ballard Hall and Kate Butcher) and the Nature Conservancy did an incredible job organizing this party.

P1050037

More than 43% of Block Island has been preserved.  With events like this, hopefully that number will increase.

P1050039

P1050040

All of the food served at the dinner was local to the Island.

P1050048

The signature cocktail was flavored with freshly picked blackberries.

P1050054

BI rocks turned into place cards.

P1050043 P1050056

The night was a HUGE success!

Even the sunset cooperated.

Thanks for a wonderful evening.

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
