A HEARTY THANK YOU!
to the guests and generous contributors at our first-ever

Urban Barn Dance and Harvest Supper

On Friday evening, October 24th, Somerville's Dilboy VFW Hall was transformed. Hay bales flanked the entrance, corn stalks lined the walls and the stage, and cowboy hats hung from hooks on the walls. A lively crowd of over 100 enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Chef Bob Sargent of Arlington's Flora restaurant. Many, many thanks to Bob for his hard work and for the tasty results! See our events page for a complete menu!

We are also very grateful to Kate Stillman and Aidan Davin of Stillman's at the Turkey Farm for donating an entire locally raised pig to the event! Chef Sargent consistently attributed the success of his dishes to the quality of the ingredients (though we know it was the synergy of his inspiration and great raw materials!).

Mass Farmers Markets would also like to thank Whole Foods Market and Hamilton Orchards of New Salem, MA for donating apple crisp and apple cider donuts to finish off the meal. Guests devoured dessert after enjoying over an hour of lively dancing to the tunes of "John Deere and the Herd," under the guidance of caller David Titus.

See our events page for many more thank-yous!
