The Berks County Farm Bureau invites the public to experience a unique agricultural evening at its upcoming field-to-table dinner in a soybean field on May 31 at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
The event will be held at Jeremy Meck\u2019s farm, 1215 Route 419, Marion Township, where guests will begin the evening with a wagon ride across the farm to a soybean field destination. There, a beautifully prepared outdoor dining space will welcome guests for an unforgettable agricultural dining experience.<\/p>\n
Once in the field, guests will enjoy a five-course field-to-table meal prepared with locally sourced ingredients from Berks farms and producers. Throughout the dinner, local chefs will introduce and describe each course, sharing the inspiration behind the dishes and highlighting the local ingredients used in the meal.<\/p>\n
As the evening unfolds, guests will dine among the rows of young soybeans while enjoying\u00a0live praise music, creating a peaceful atmosphere as the sun sets across the farmland. The evening will conclude with\u00a0dessert served at sunset, offering guests a memorable ending to a one-of-a-kind dining experience.<\/p>\n
Tickets for the event are\u00a0$125 per person, and a portion of each ticket will support agricultural education programs including the\u00a0Mobile Ag Lab,\u00a0Ag Literacy initiatives, and the\u00a0SWAG Ag Lab.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Mobile Ag Lab\u00a0brings hands-on agricultural science lessons to\u00a0K\u20138 students, helping young learners understand the science and technology involved in modern farming while teaching them where their food comes from.<\/p>\n
