This summer, Mary and I are so very excited to introduce something new at the farm – our Summer Sunday Supper Series – a monthly themed dinner series designed to bring people together over great food, music, and the natural beauty of the farm.
Each supper will be a fully catered meal, hosted in an outdoor space at the farm, and meant to be enjoyed slowly and together. We’ll be hosting four dinners total, one for each month from June through September. Each dinner will have its own theme, menu style, and setting on the farm. For this season, the four dinners will be an Italian Courtyard Dinner, a Cowboy Steak Dinner, a Southern Sunday Supper Dinner, and a Southern BBQ Dinner.
Our goal with each of these dinners is simple. We want to create evenings where people can relax, enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal, take in the scenery, and spend time with others around the table. These aren’t rushed events or formal affairs. They’re meant to feel comfortable, welcoming, and memorable – the kind of nights you linger a little longer because everything just feels right.
Keeping The Evening Special
Each dinner in our Summer Sunday Supper Series will be limited to 120 adult guests, and that number is very intentional. We want the evenings to feel lively and fun, but still personal. With 120 people, the atmosphere stays energetic without feeling crowded, and it allows everyone the chance to relax, talk, and truly enjoy the company around them. We want our dinners to feel shared, not rushed or overwhelming.
The second reason for limiting attendance is a practical one – the weather. While we plan each supper to be enjoyed outdoors, Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate. By keeping the total guest count at 120, we can comfortably move the entire dinner indoors if ever needed. As a last resort, we can shift everyone into our event center & party barn area without losing the flow or experience of the evening.
For us, this balance matters. Limiting the size allows us to protect the experience no matter what the evening brings. Whether we’re dining under the open sky or gathered indoors, we want every guest to feel comfortable, connected, and part of something special. Keeping the dinners intentionally sized helps us make sure that happens every time!
With that said, here’s a little look at each of the dinners this summer. Tickets for each dinner will go on sale about 45 days before each event. We will announce each ticket sale opening open on The Farm @ Old World Garden Facebook Page. You can also sign up to our mailing list to be notified as soon as any of our tickets go on sale for each event:
Italian Dinner In The Courtyard – June 14
We’ll kick off the series on June 14 with an Italian Dinner in the Courtyard. This evening will feature Italian-inspired dishes served family style, with each table getting to sample the full menu. Large platters will be shared, encouraging conversation and the classic Italian way of dining where food brings everyone together.
The courtyard is one of our favorite places on the farm to host a meal. Surrounded by gardens and stonework, it creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere that feels perfect for kicking off summer. Add in music and good company, and it sets the tone for everything we want this series to be.
Cowboy Steak Dinner – July 19
On July 19, we’ll host our Cowboy Steak Dinner. This one is all about bold flavors and live-fire cooking. The steaks will be cooked on site on our large Argentinian wood-fired grill, which adds both incredible flavor and an experience you don’t get every day.
There’s something special about seeing your meal cooked over an open fire, while enjoying a summer evening outdoors. This dinner is meant to be hearty, relaxed, and full of the sights, sounds, and smells that make farm dinners so memorable.
Southern Supper In The Meadow – August 9
The Southern Supper in the Meadow takes place on August 9 and will be served at a long, massive table set in the middle of the field in the meadow. This setup gives the evening a true farm-to-table feel and encourages everyone to dine together in a shared space.
August evenings at the farm are beautiful, and the meadow creates an open, easygoing setting for this style of meal. With comfort food, music, and plenty of room to relax, this supper is meant to feel welcoming and communal – just great food enjoyed in a great place.
Barbecue Dinner In The Meadow – September 13
We’ll wrap up the series on September 13 with a Barbecue Dinner in the Meadow, also served on a long, massive table in the meadow. This final supper celebrates the close of summer and the start of early fall with classic barbecue flavors and outdoor dining.
As the evenings cool and the season begins to change, this dinner is a chance to gather one last time, enjoy the farm, and close out the Summer Sunday Supper Series together.
More Than Just Dinner
Each Sunday Supper will include music and a few extra touches that add to the experience without making it feel overdone. For us, these evenings are about more than just the food. They’re about the setting, the conversations, and the people who choose to spend their time here with us.
The Summer Sunday Supper Series is our way of sharing the farm in a meaningful way – four evenings, four locations, and four different experiences. We’d love for you to join us around the table this summer. – Jim & Mary
