Farm to Table Dining Event: November 13, 2023
At MIXX165, we're passionate about bringing the best of locally sourced ingredients to your plate. On November 13, 2023, at 6 pm, we're excited to present a Farm to Table dining event that celebrates the bountiful harvest of our community and showcases the incredible flavors of the region. Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with four delectable courses that are a testament to the dedication and hard work of local farmers and producers.
Each Ticket comes with one glass of White or Red Wine from our friends at Dragonfly Vineyards in Urbana, Ohio. That glass can be redeemed at any point in the dinner service.
Course One: Smoked Salmon Bruschetta: Our journey through local flavors begins with a mouthwatering Smoked Salmon Bruschetta. Freshwater Farms provides us with the finest smoked salmon, which we pair with chopped tomatoes, capers, horseradish, garlic, olive oil, and a zesty lemon juice, all elegantly placed on toasted bread with a delightful balsamic drizzle.
Course Two: Creamy Pumpkin and Chicken Soup: Next, we bring you a heartwarming Creamy Pumpkin and Chicken Soup. This dish highlights the local pumpkins from Champaign Berry Farm and chicken provided by Jush and Kelly Burns. The pumpkin and cream base is enriched by the flavor of our region's poultry. Crispy sage adds a perfect finishing touch to this comforting creation. It's a taste of autumn and the undeniable bond between our community and the land.
Course Three: Beef Braciole: For the main course, we present a dish close to our hearts – Beef Braciole. This Italian wedding dish is transformed into a local masterpiece with tenderized Flank Steak from Woodruff Farms, stuffed with garlic, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs. It's served with a robust beefy tomato sauce and a side of creamy smashed potatoes from Michael’s Farms. This course is a nod to the traditional recipes that bring families and communities together, showcasing the quality of our local beef and potatoes.
Course Four: Candy Apple Sampler: Our Farm to Table experience culminates with a Candy Apple Sampler with Gourmet, Handcrafted Ice Cream from Ayars Farm. We've taken locally sourced apples and split them into three delightful flavors. Enjoy the spiced candied apple, which embodies the essence of the season. Each bite is a reminder of the simple yet delightful treats that rural communities offer.
But this event is about more than just savoring exceptional cuisine. It's about recognizing the importance of a sustainable agricultural industry in rural communities. MIXX165 has been serving Mechanicsburg, Urbana and Champaign County since 2018 and we wanted to do something special to highlight the many amazing food producers in the region. By supporting local farmers, we help them thrive and sustain their way of life. We foster the growth of a robust and resilient local economy, creating opportunities for future generations.
Our Farm to Table dining event on November 13th is a celebration of the unique connection between the land and our plates. Join us in honoring the dedication of our local producers, the richness of our region, and the delicious results of a sustainable agricultural industry that nourishes both our bodies and our communities. Book your seat and prepare to be part of a truly unforgettable evening at MIXX165.
