Harvest Dinner

Annual Harvest Dinner at The FARM 1780

We’re excited to welcome you to one of our most special events of the year—our Annual Harvest Dinner, part of our farm-to-table dinner series that celebrates the best of fall’s bounty.

This year’s dinner is truly one-of-a-kind: a collaboration between Chef Fred Neuville—founder of the iconic Fat Hen and former executive chef at Coast Bar and Grill and Rue de Jean in Charleston—and our very own Executive Chef Brian Nelson, owner and chef at Keg Cowboy.

Fred and Brian go way back—Brian worked under Fred years ago, and when Fred visited The FARM this February to help celebrate Brian’s 50th birthday, the idea for this unforgettable evening was born.

Fred is now retired, making this chef pairing dinner an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy his cooking alongside Brian’s. Even better, ingredients for the night’s menu are being custom grown right here at The FARM 1780.

Expect more than just a meal—this is an experience. Great food, fresh air, and two chefs swapping stories, sharing laughs, and creating an evening that’s as much about the connection as it is about the incredible flavors.

Come hungry and ready for an evening of seasonal flavors, Southern hospitality, and a little friendly chef banter. Tickets are limited, and this one’s sure to sell out fast—don’t miss your chance to be part of it!
