Restaurant Alba’s Farm Feast on September 12

Chef Sean Weinberg, chef/owner of Restaurant Alba in Malvern, PA, will host a Farm Feast on September 12 that really brings to life the meaning of farm-to-table.

Chef Weinberg built his restaurant in Chester County to be close to the very farmers he buys his food from. And that’s why he’s decided to host a dinner formally served under the stars and designed to introduce diners to his food sources.

Guests can talk to the farmers about growing and chat with the chef while he cooks a five-course feast over a bonfire in the fields. They’ll get to savor each farm-fresh dish on a white tablecloth set with silver, china and stemware. A portion of the proceeds will go to Hives for Lives, a local charity that raises money to help cure cancer.

Join us Sunday, September 12th at Sugartown Strawberries Farm (650 Sugartown Road, Malvern, PA). A rain date is scheduled for Sunday, September 19th. The cost is $95 per person. Festivities begin at 5 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and a complimentary glass of Sangria served under a 300-year-old oak tree. Then diners will hop on a hayride for transportation to the table. Seating is limited, so reservations are a must. BYOB.

For reservations or information, call 610-644-4009.
