Farm to Table
Dinner Coming to Downtown Greenville
Darke County Farm Bureau has been bringing people together for nearly
100 years and believes in opportunities for the next generation.
Therefore, Darke County Farm Bureau and Main Street Greenville are
proud to be collaborating to host a farm to table dinner in order to
highlight independently owned businesses, draw attention to the
importance of local farms, and promote the burgeoning agritourism
industry in our county. Agriculture is Ohio’s largest industry, and
over the last few years we’ve seen an increase in public interest
regarding food production. Individuals are hoping for education about
the agricultural economy and to have greater knowledge about where
their food comes from and how it is prepared. It is with these goals in
mind that we plan to host a locally sourced and prepared dinner which
will feature local farmers and independent business owners. We are
excited for this initiative where all net proceeds will benefit local
4-H and FFA Chapters. The dinner is set to take place on Friday, August
10, 2018 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm on the beautiful Greenville Public Library
Lawn and will be called Farm on Fourth.
"We are very excited to be partnering with Darke County Farm Bureau for
Farm on Fourth," said Main Street Greenville Executive Director Crysta
Hutchinson. "The collaboration of our organizations provides a great
opportunity to both highlight independently owned local businesses and
bring food producers and consumers together."
The food ingredients for the dinner will be sourced from farms in Darke
or surrounding counties and the three course meal will be prepared by
chefs and restaurateurs from downtown Greenville. The Merchant House
will prepare the salad and entree, and desserts will be provided by
Kathy's Cookies and Pies. Attendees will also be able to select their
preference of beer or wine pairings expertly chosen to accompany the
three course meal.
The event will also feature live music performance, informational
presentations from food providers, displays from local farms, and more.
