past Farm To Table Lamb Dinner Events
April 20th, 2024 Montgomery Sheep Farm, Biscoe, NC
Talk about witnessing the awesome power of mother nature! After 6 events with perfect weather over the past two years, more than 45 guests shared an experience that few will ever forget! There was no rain in the forecast but out of the blue thunder clouds darkened the horizon and then one golf ball size chunk of ice hit the roof of the transport. “Strange” we all thought as we drove back towards the farm lodge, then mother nature whipped up an incredible hailstorm as the tour trailer raced for cover in the lambing barn.
The experience was educational, adventurous, and ended with a fantastic meal prepared by Chef Will Bayrd and fellowship around a fire pit. In a world where fast-paced lifestyles often disconnect us from where our food comes from and the knowledge of what’s in it, it was great to meet so many people who care about the journey of their food from farm to table. Your presence here was a testament to that care, and for that, we are truly thankful.
April 13th, 2024 Montgomery Sheep Farm, Biscoe, N.C.
Almost 50 people gathered at the Montgomery Sheep Farm on Saturday April 13th, under the open sky, comforted by the almost perfect weather. It's moments like these that remind us of the simple joys in life, of being able to dine outside, with new and old friends, surrounded by the beauty of nature as we shared an amazing 4 course dinner together.
Many traveled from across the state to visit our humble town of Biscoe and our farm. Your presence there truly means the world to us, and we were honored to have you join us in celebrating good food, community, connection, and the beauty of the land.
