Dirty Dinners
Creating Community for Adventurous Foodies
As a link between the Montgomery County Ag Reserve and our suburban & urban neighbors, Calleva creates a space that:
- Includes a delicious, farm-fresh, plated meal with wine
- Enables foodies to meet the local farmers, brewers, cheese makers, and vintners that have contributed to the evening meal
- Showcases Calleva Farm, our produce & our “agri-cation” programming
- Raises awareness of the artists & producers that power Montgomery County’s rural economy
- Introduces guests to our community of leaders & learners with a one-of-a-kind dynamic & engaging evening on our beautiful farm
Proceeds from the dinner support Calleva’s outdoor programming, including summer camp scholarships & outdoor education collaborations with other local non-profits and schools.
