What is the FARM TO FORK Dinner?

The Ag Center’s first Farm to Fork Dinner celebrates the local, farm fresh bounty of Polk County and nearby areas.   It features local farm fresh ingredients, local brewery and viticulture artisans, and fundraising opportunities and entertainment.  It will be an annual experience not to miss!

Local farms, culinary-trained chefs and BBQ-contest champions will prepare a gourmet buffet style community feast using local ingredients.  Live music, an on-going auction,  InFARMation stations and a 50/50 raffle provide the entertainment.   An early open house and tour of the facilities offers a glimpse into Polk County’s newest and exciting adventure into preserving local farmland and our rural heritage.
