Last night, Matt and I went to a dinner at the nearby Jorgenson Farm for a CSA Sunday Supper. He had bought the tickets for me as a surprise, and we had the most wonderful time. The theme of the dinner revolved around the sunflowers that were in full bloom, and the vegetables, herbs, and fruits that were at their peak for harvest.
We had a tour of the farm, saw the chickens, lambs, edible gardens, and barns. The dinner was BYOB, and they had a basket full of empty glasses and wine openers upon our arrival with the appetizers.
To start, there were multiple stations, one had canapes, marinated olives, and tomatoes; another had local honeycomb, walnuts, and cheese. We then had carmelized onion flatbread, heirloom caprese, and a mint watermelon salad for our first course. Roasted chicken and lamb kabobs were served as the main course (but I was already so full)! We rounded out the night with homemade poundcake topped with blackberries.
You can tell by the photos what a beautiful place it was, and I cannot wait to head back for another dinner sometime soon. Each month has a different ‘theme’ and I hear the fall dinners are wonderful as well. They even have an upcoming event this weekend called “Mint Fest” that is in collaboration with Jeni’s Ice Creams. If you’re in the Columbus area this weekend, you should look into it!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Here’s to another week!

What a wonderful date idea! So cute and looks like you guys had a great time
What an amazing experience! It looks like so much fun and so up my alley
Stunning photos! I love all the pops of yellow that are incorporated into the decor.

Oh – that looks amazing! I would love to go to one of those dinners but unfortunately I don’t think there are any in my area. Maybe I’ll host my own ‘farmed-themed’ dinner party in the fall. Fall Harvest suppers are really fun as well, if you ever have the chance to go to one.
Erika – What do you usually do at a harvest dinner? I’d love to hear more!
this place looks sensational! what a nice surprise!
What a gorgeous evening! I love how the table was set up in the rows of sunflowers — so dreamy
. There are a lot of farms in the Portland-area that offer dinners like this. I definitely need to check one out 
Looks gorgeous! I always contemplate going to one of these local farm dinners, but can never bring myself to fork over the money they usually cost for a couple!
Charise, I know the ‘outstanding in the field’ dinners are upwards of $200 per person, but this one was right around $60/person which is a bit less expensive!
What an amazing experience! Looks like an amazing spot!
Oh my goodness, eating dinner in a field of sunflowers, WHAT A DREAM! The place settings are gorgeous.
This is so cool, Erin!!!
