Tastes of Calleva
A One-of-a-Kind Event for Adventurous Foodies
As a link between the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve and our suburban & urban neighbors, Calleva Farm presents a unique “progressive dinner” style experience.
What’s a Taste of Calleva?
- Creative stations are created around the Farm and showcase musicians, artists & innovators who make up the Calleva community
- Each station has its own set of delicious small plate “tastes” featuring Calleva Farm produce, meats, eggs & herbs — the products of our year round ag education programming
- Small plates are accompanied by local wines, beers, and/or unique seasonal cocktails
- Guests engage with Calleva staff, artists & each other during an active evening on our beautiful farm
PLUS: Bonus activities!!
- Fun farm activities, including zip lines, wagon rides, lawn games & garden tours
- Late night camp fire & singalong
Proceeds from the dinner support Calleva’s outdoor programming, including summer camp scholarships & outdoor education collaborations with other local non-profits and schools. For info: DirtyDinners@Calleva.org
