Event Descriptions

Farm to Table with Kristian Niemi and Travis Rayle

Enjoy a unique dining experience at City Roots Farm. Executive Chef/Owner Kristian Niemi and Executive Chef Travis Rayle from Rosso Trattoria will be preparing meals with fresh produce harvested that day from City Roots Farm. We will be partnering with other farms for local beef, pork, chicken and fish. Every dinner will be a surprise, the menu will not be known until the day or week of.

Dinners start with a cocktail made with American Harvest Organic Spirits mixed with fresh seasonal juices and fruit. You will be able to enjoy a cocktail while exploring the farm. Then everyone will proceed to the table in the field for a sit down family style dinner paired with sustainable beer or wine.

Your local Chef and Farmer will be on hand to dine with you and talk about the harvest menu and the farm. It will be a unique sustainable dinning experience.
