UPDATE: the January 23rd dinner is sold out.

Field House Farm is thrilled to welcome Chef David Borselle, Jr back to our kitchen on Thursday January 23 at 6PM. Chef David and I started this dinner series together while he was the head chef at Bar Bouchee, but hasn’t been in our farm kitchen to cook for us since this summer. In the interim, Chef David has worked tirelessly to open his own French restaurant, a’VERT Brasserie, in West Hartford Center. Chef David will be presenting a field to table dinner in the same format as our other dinners, but we will be focusing on a higher caliber of wines to compliment Chef’s amazing four to five course menu. The evening will wrap up with dessert from Hen and Heifer Bakery in Guilford, as well as an after dinner drink selection. This is a very intimate gathering in our farm kitchen and has limited seating. Please call or email for reservations. This special evening is priced differently from our regular farm to table dinner series and costs $150 per person.

Our newest baby to the farm arrived from Race Hill Farm in Roxbury, CT today. Baby Breagha is a 6 month old Scottish Highland Heifer. We intend to breed her when she is around 2 years old. She is a heritage breed of cattle which is known for its strength, meat, and sweet disposition.

The next tapping season will be starting in the upcoming weeks, weather permitting.
Local maple syrup from right here on Greenhill Road in Madison. Pints ($12) quarts ($20) and half gallons ($36) available in Vermont Grade A medium amber and Grade B. Professionally graded and packaged.

Field House Farm is participating once again in this annual event. Boy Scout Troop 490 picks up all trees and brings them to our farm for our animals to eat all winter. There is a $15 tax-deductible donation to the Boy Scouts which is required. Additionally, people can drop their tree off at the farm for no cost. We ask that any trees dropped off have no tinsel or decoration of any sort on them. Please click this link to register to have your tree picked up.

Thank you for supporting the Boy Scouts! If you have any problems with the link above, please let us know. Email bsatroop490@yahoo.com or you may call 1-203-744-XMAS (9627)

This year the scouts are picking up trees on Sunday January 5, 2014 or Saturday January 11, 2014.
