An Evening at the Farm: A Southern Farm-to-Table Experience
Presented by New Beginnings Farm & Chef Tricia Mills Baehr, with wines provided in partnership with Mountain Brook Vineyards:
Pull up a chair at our table and spend an evening where every bite tells the story of our land, our farmers, and our Southern roots.
At New Beginnings Historic Farm, the evening begins surrounded by friends old and new as the sun sets over rolling fields. You’ll savor a three-course farm-to-table dinner by Chef Tricia Mills Baehr, whose menus are a love letter to the South — warm, generous, and deeply tied to the seasons.
Every course is prepared with meat and produce raised and grown by our neighbors at New Beginnings Historic Farm, Vandele Farms, Encompass Farm, and TK Family Farm. It’s food that’s fresh, local, and brimming with flavor you can only get here, at this moment.
Live music will weave through the evening, setting the perfect tone for connection, laughter, and the kind of conversations you remember long after the plates are cleared. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the wines of Mountain Brook Vineyards, available for purchase by the glass or bottle.
Wine social is from 5–6pm, followed by dinner from 6–9pm.
