Dine in our farm garden under white lanterns, enjoying a four course farm-to-fork dinner that will transport you along the ancient spice route from Persian into South Asia.

Cherry Grove Farm will co-host this culinary journey with local Lawrenceville makers (and friends of the farm) Naomi Mobed from Le Bon Magot and The Agarwal family from Pure Indian Foods.

Tapping into our friends’ culinary traditions, we’ve created a soul-satisfying menu with a modern twist, using Cherry Grove Farm’s farmstead cheeses and grass-fed lamb and the bounty of fresh New Jersey fruits and vegetables.

The evening will begin with a short farm tour and cocktail hour featuring Lychee and Rose martinis, and Jal-jeera, a cumin-intense mocktail. Appetizers will include vegetarian pakoras, a CGF cheese board with Le Bon Magot chutneys, and hummus drizzled with Brinjal Caponata.

The sit down portion of the meal is mostly vegetarian with a Burmese lamb entree for our meat-lovers. Look forward to Saag Paneer with foraged greens,  Persian Jeweled Rice, Aloo Gobi with Mutter, Masala Roasted Jersey Corn, Fatoush Salad with pomegranate and a honey lemon vinaigrette, and Naan bread.

We round out our evening with a Lassi White Peach Parfait, Gulab Jamoon petit fours, and a raw milk Masala Chai.

Cocktail hour begins at 6:30. Dinner at 7:30pm.
Bring your own creative place setting (prizes given!) and a favorite alcoholic beverage. Pairings suggestions will be sent with confirmation email.

Tickets are $85 in advance, and $95 dollars within five days of the dinner. There are only 30 seats. Get your ticket today.

OOOOOOOOOUUUMAMMMI…

Lady Miss Keir gets it, do you hear it? Ooooummmmammmi, OOOOUUMAMI.

That’s right, Oooumami is back. Notes of cauliflower, beef, asparagus, cannellini bean, sour cream and mushroom dip – a real spring ringer of a raw milk bloomy! Get it while the getting is best.

THIS WEEK IN CHEESE:
Oooumami: Gorgeous raw milk, mixed bloomy rind cheese. Tall and delicious. Raw milk.

Herdsman
Working on December batches now. These wheels are surprising us (go hay milk!) with classic tomme flavors and textures. An array of flavors that range from oregano and heavy red sauce to garden fresh carrots and beets to lemon and malt!. Raw milk.

Havilah
October and November 2016 batches. Can’t stop and won’t stop, this cheese is a flavor bomb and it makes no apologies. Current tasting notes include: pineapple, beef broth, grass, caramel and an array of allium flavors. These batches are heavier on the savory side. Raw milk.

Toma
January wheels now available. These wheels are kind of blowing us away. Insanely decadent texture with a rin that makes an absolutely indelible impression. Our tasting notes included everything from alliums, shellfish and ballpark peanuts to mango! These are some special batches. Raw milk.

Rarebird
Not many wheels. The flavor is typical Rarebird: gamey meat, peanutty, funky butter and wild mushrooms. Raw milk.

We’re currently washing a handful of these Rarebirds in this radically tart lil beer from Allagash for our friends at Tria Taproom in honor of upcoming Philly Beer Week!

Buttercup Brie
We’ve got a seriously tiny stock of Brie available at the moment. First come, first serve. More is on the way. Pasteurized milk.

Don’t Worry, Brie Happy! 
Always grateful for your support.
