What to expect

Join us for an edible experience celebrating the beauty of fresh & local ingredients sourced straight from our farm, the bounties of nature, and other local producers. Our passion for growing food, cooking, and sustainable living comes together in these intimate gatherings, where we invite small groups of up to 8 guests to our farmhouse & barn, nestled amongst our nursery and gardens. Depending on the weather (and the bugs), you can either savor your meal outside, by the firepit surrounded by the vibrant sights and sounds of nature, or cozy up in our charming barn. If it's too cold altogether, we can always pivot and dine in our 1700s farmhouse. This experience is not just about indulging in delicious meals. We want to share our knowledge and love for plants with you. Allow us to guide you on a tour of our farm, where we'll introduce you to intentionally grown plants and even the "weeds" that find their way onto our plates. Discover the wonders of foraging and learn to identify edible plants that nature generously provides. Click here to view our full menus https://whalebacknursery.com/events
