Dinner on the Farm with Chefs Mitch Prensky and Andrew Gerson

Green Meadow Farm
130 S Mt Vernon Rd, Gap, PA 17527
Tickets: $55

Through roaming culinary events, Dinner on the Farm works to re-connect people to the land and to the farmers and artisans who are making our communities a better, more delicious place to live. Their mission sounds lofty, but don't worry; at its heart, Dinner on the Farm is a laidback, late-afternoon barn party with some serious beer. We're bringing out four lines of rare and seasonal Brooklyn beers plus specialty big bottles, including our most recent Brooklyn Quarterly Experiment, Cuvée Noire. There will be lots of good food, interesting neighbors and enough beer for all. Check out the menu and beer list.

We first hooked up with Dinner on the Farm's Monica Walch while producing last year's Slow Supper in the Twin Cities. She has since joined our colorful cast to create unique local food experiences designed to celebrate farms, chefs and food entrepreneurs who are dedicated to good, sustainable food for the 2014 tour.

Chef and Proprietor Mitch Prensky and his wife and partner, Jennifer London Prensky, are the owners and operators of The Global Dish Caterers, a singularly successful event planning company, and Supper, one of Philly's most ambitious and well-regarded restaurants. Chef Prensky is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute and alumnus of such prestigious Manhattan restaurant kitchens as L’Ecole, Le Chantilly and Mesa Grill.  

Brooklyn Brewery Chef Andrew Gerson brings to the table ten years of culinary experience as a cook, educator and activist. As a graduate of the University of Gastronomic Sciences (Pollenzo, Italy) and an active member of Slow Food, Andrew supports local food systems in communities across the country. Hired by The Brewery in 2013, Andrew demonstrates and embodies Brooklyn Brewmaster Garrett Oliver's philosophy on beer and food. Chef Andrew has powerful hands-- come see what they can do.

"One of the things that makes Dinner on the Farm truly special is that it really manages to capture that classic romantic feel. You can easily hunker down on a blanket with a significant other and just take in the scenic farm view or you can bring the entire family for a good old-fashioned community-style get together."
