Dinners At
The Farm
This continually sold-out series of benefit dinners held in the fields of local farms was developed to promote and support Connecticut's farming community, and has helped earn the State a place in the local food movement. A project of River Tavern, Dinners at the Farm has become one of their most successful endeavors to date with Michelle Paulson as the woman behind the story and the camera since its inception. Developing an identity was the first job at hand. Now, several seasons later, the cause continues to be well served by a multitude of well-placed feature stories including: Time Magazine, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Cooking Channel, Yankee Magazine, Connecticut Magazine and more.
