Tickets are on sale for The Last Green Valley’s fund-raiser, Tastes of the Valley. It will be held at 4 p.m. Aug. 25 at The Publick House in Sturbridge. Tickets are $100 for TLGV members and $125 for non-members, which includes a year-long membership.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.thelastgreenvalley.org or by calling 860-774-3300. All funds raised are used to support the mission of TLGV.
The evening starts with a social hour featuring local wines, beers and beverages, as well as appetizers prepared by area chefs using products farmed in the 35 towns of The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor. Guests will then be invited into the main dining room where they will be treated to an amazing multi-course, sit-down, farm-to-table dinner showcasing dishes created specifically for our event by some of the area’s top chefs. Seated at each table will be a special guest – either a local farmer, vintner, brewer or agriculture expert for you to converse with as you learn more about what it takes to keep The Last Green Valley green and delicious.
The end of the evening features dessert and a live auction featuring guest auctioneer Gene Michael Deary. Silent auctions and a raffle highlighting locally-crafted items and experiences will be held throughout the evening. It’s a different spin on the area’s best farm-to-table experience and the perfect way to support the efforts of The Last Green Valley.
