The Hub City Farmers’ Market will celebrate the fall bounty at their first annual farm dinner. The dinner will take place at Live Oak Farms in Woodruff, SC and serve as a fundraiser for Spartanburg’s Hub City Farmers’ Market.  Food lovers from around the world are invited to come and enjoy local food, local music and local beverages at Live Oak’s beautiful and rustic setting.

Chef James McCallister of the Milliken Guest House will lead a talented, all-star team of chefs which includes Tim Page from the Daniel Morgan Vocational School; Gerhard Grommer, owner and chef at Gerhard’s; Tray Mathis, chef and owner of the Converse Deli; Patrick Wagner, instructor at Greenville Technical College, Stephanie Tornatore, chef at City Range Spartanburg and Anastasia Kaminski, former pastry chef at the Milliken Guest House and instructor at R.D. Anderson Applied Technology Center. The chefs will prepare several courses with local produce and meats from Hub City Farmers’ Market vendors.  Guests will enjoy wine and beer pairings with their meal and will be serenaded with local music as they dine.

Proceeds from the dinner go to support the Hub City Farmers’ Market, a non-profit organization that works to increase the demand and availability of healthy, local food in Spartanburg.  Funds will go towards the HCFM’s operations of farmers’ market and community garden programs.  “We have deeply appreciated the support of the community over the years as we continue to grow our services and programs and we’re thrilled to start a new tradition with our first farm dinner,” executive director Ana Parra says. “Live Oak will be a beautiful backdrop for the event and allow guests to experience the epitome of the farm to table movement.”
