The Veteran’s Farm of North Carolina Hosting Farm to Fork Dinner on May 18
UPDATE: The event has been cancelled, due to weather conditions.
Per the VFNC’s Facebook post:
“Event Cancelation… Well folks, we watched the weather report keep changing all week. It looks like it’s now settled that it will be raining/storming Saturday pretty hard. We, unfortunately, are canceling the event and will host it next year. It takes a lot to coordinate the food and everything else for an event like this to reschedule. Stay tuned for our Fall Farm Day event! Anyone who bought tickets to this event will be refunded in the next few days”
The Veteran’s Farm of North Carolina is set to host a Farm to Fork dinner this weekend, and you need to be there!
North Carolina has a proud military history and affiliation, with eight active military installations in operation across the state. With the robust agricultural landscape in North Carolina and the high volume of veterans in the area was a natural fit for the birth of the Veteran’s Farm of North Carolina.
The VFNC’s mission statement ” VFNC helps Veterans of all eras to become self-sufficient farmers and to further expand their operations. We do this by operating the only full-scale production farm for training Veterans in NC. Our innovative organization has worked with over 1,000 beginning Farmer Veterans over the past seven years, and we’ve built a community of actively-farming Farmer Veterans larger than any other state in the U.S. “
In addition to training and education provided, The Veteran’s Farm of North Carolina also throws some pretty snazzy shindigs! Past events have included intro to Beekeeping, Farm Day Fundraisers, and many more.
Now, VFNC is bringing you dinner straight from the farm right to your table with a one-night-only dining experience. Happening on May 18th, Dinner on the Hill true, farm-to-table experience with locally sourced food items from Farmer Veterans in our community that are prepared for you by Veteran chefs in our local area!
