3rd Annual Farm-to-Table Feast in the Field at Oak Spring Garden Foundation

Start: Friday, June 6, 2025 5:30PM
End: Friday, June 6, 2025 8:30PM

The Oak Spring Garden Foundation cordially invites you to join us in the vegetable fields at the Biocultural Conservation Farm (BCCF) to celebrate the dawn of summer! Guests will stroll through the BCCF's production field while enjoying light bites and drinks, including a signature summer-inspired cocktail. The cocktail hour will be followed by a family-style dinner prepared by OSGF's Chef Jason Neve and will highlight a diverse medley of summer crops grown at the BCCF. All proceeds from the event will go towards OSGF's Education + Outreach programs in the local community - please read more about these programs below. The evening will feature live music by Lillian Hacket, joined by Evan Bell. With roots nestled deep in the Appalachian hills, Lillian is a rising voice in Folk and Americana, weaving the rich threads of old-time and bluegrass traditions into a tapestry of heartfelt melodies and lyrical storytelling. Dinner guests are invited to participate in an optional Silent Auction during the cocktail hour in the production field. Auction items will include various experiences offered by OSGF as well as unique takeaway items. The auction will close in-person promptly after the cocktail hour the night of the dinner (Friday, June 6). Guests will receive information on how to join the Silent Auction in a separate correspondence. Kindly note that due to the nature of this event, we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions or preferences. This meal may contain dairy, eggs, gluten, and nuts. Additionally, this event will take place at the BCCF on Rokeby Farm and will not include a visit to OSGF's formal gardens. About the BCCF: The Biocultural Conservation Farm (BCCF) at the Oak Spring Garden Foundation was started in the spring of 2019. The BCCF grows fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs for use by Chef Jason Neve for onsite programs, providing fresh food to OSGF's visiting artists and scholars-in-residence, and a 24-week 50 member CSA. Additionally, the BCCF is committed to donating at least 50% of produce grown to local food banks and pantries, and has donated more than 140,000 lbs to date. The BCCF's mission is also deeply rooted in highlighting heirlooms that are culturally and historically important to the Appalachian and VA Piedmont regions and saving their seeds for preservation and sharing in the community.
