As you may have previously read here on BH, the Heritage Conservancy hosted a Farm to Table Event on Saturday July 31st. About 125 people made it out to Lindsay Farm in Warminster to celebrate the “Bounty of Bucks County.” Guests first enjoyed a cocktail hour, with appetizers such as:

Flatbreads with Heirloom Tomatoes, Fresh Basil, Roasted Garlic and Jamie Hollander Fresh Mozzarella
Barbequed Chicken and Sweet Corn with Crème Fraiche on Crispy Tortilla

Mushrooms portabella ceviche with Green Tomato, Chive, Cilantro and Cucumber

Bolton Farms chicken tuscan with spinach and Flint Hill Farm ricotta
Earl’s garden Sweet and Neat tomatoes with basil pasta salad and Rise Bakery crostini

Guests stayed cool on a warm day with lemonade and apple cider (cider courtesy of Solebury Orchards). The music of Bill Neale entertained the crowd while they perused a very robust silent auction list (over 19 baskets to bid on from almost 40 donors). Items ranged from “Brewer for a Day,” courtesy of Riverhorse Brewery, to “A Night for the Senses” package, which included gift certificates from Maize on Walnut, Peace Valley Winery & Siren Records.

Guests were then escorted to the dinner tent, which was surrounded on 3 sides by corn fields. Picture frames hanging from the open-air walls of the tent showcased the beauty of the farm vistas. Then dinner was served. The dinner menu included:

Produce Table with bell peppers, carrots, onions, fennel, squash, mushrooms, String Beans, Beets
24 Hour Slow Roasted Pork
None Such Farm roasted garlic sirloin steak carving station
Succotash of Corn, Chanterelles and Fresh Shelling Beans
None Such Farm asparagus and roasted corn salad

While diners enjoyed their dinner, they also enjoyed visually stunning floral arrangements, courtesy of Lilies & Lavendar. All hors d'oeuvres and entree items were prepared and served by our celebrity chefs, Dave from Jamie Hollander, and Dave & Chris from Earl's Bucks County.

As the sun set on Lindsay Farm, diners lined up for their desserts. Guests enjoyed a gluten free chocolate whipped cream strawberry shortcake (courtesy of Town Crier Bakery), rustic apple tart (also Town Crier), hand dipped ice cream from Owwow Cow, cookies from Maryanne Pastry Shoppe and fresh peaches from Manoff farms.
