⬩ Sunday Harvest Dinners ⬩
Now in its forth season, the Sunday Harvest Dinner series is our signature fundraiser. One Sunday each month during the growing season (on the dates listed below), we open the doors of our Cookhouse to share the ritual of a traditional Sunday meal. These dinners are sell-out, intimate gatherings that bring together noted chefs and community members to celebrate the bounty of the harvest. As we hear time and time again, you won’t find a more delicious and convivial culinary experience in the Hudson Valley. And perhaps more significantly, all proceeds from these dinners directly support the First Harvest Food Pantry and our other community outreach programs. Our guests can feel good that, while they’re enjoying a freshly prepared meal, they’re enabling our food-insecure neighbors to do the same.
Many of us grew up in a simpler time when Sunday dinner was a thing. We never articulated it, but everyone just knew that the end of the weekend meant we had a long-standing date with family and friends. We weren’t getting together for anyone’s birthday or anniversary; it was for no other reason than it being Sunday: a time to be together, catch up, and exchange lively conversation and fellowship in a communal environment.
These days, we all have busy schedules — errands to run, work to do, kids to shuttle around. For a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, we take a break from it all to gather around the table to enjoy farm-fresh food, great wine, and each other.
Before each dinner, we meet and greet our guests with a sparkling-wine cocktail in our market garden for a tour led by our Farm Managers. Guests have an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers to be enjoyed that afternoon. Immediately following, we gather for dinner in our Cookhouse, originally an 1860s post-and-beam dairy barn from Canada that we restored and re-erected on a stone foundation here on the farm.
The Cookhouse dining room is full of light and character, with a large floor-to-ceiling window overlooking our market garden. Guests are immersed in the beauty and attention to detail that surround us as we share a seasonal menu created and prepared by a visiting chef that highlights Stonewood’s bounty and that of some of our favorite local farms and artisans.
Around our table, simple dinners become ritual, new friends become extended family, and new experiences become cherished memories.
