One of my favorite things to do each summer is attend farm dinners. These hands-on experiences get to the root of meals with farm tours and multicourse dinners set among the fields.

The Grant Family Farms [2] dinners are no exception, and the next one takes place on September 25 [3]. The seasonal menu [3] promises to satisfy with dishes such as just-harvested greens with Colorado peach vinaigrette, cherry tomatoes, and lemon cucumbers; and slow-roasted pork with sweet porcini and shallot rub and fingerling potatoes.

The price ($120 per person) may seem steep, but not when you weigh the one-of-a kind experience against the unparalleled freshness of ingredients. Plus, the price tag includes cocktails, appetizers, the tour, a four-course meal, wine, and live music. Secure your place at the table today.
