2026 Summer Solstice Dinner: Wednesday Evening

Join us to celebrate the arrival of summer with an elegant, farm-to-table dinner in support of Land's Sake's Education Fund.

Savor the Solstice: Nourishing Minds and the Land.

Each June, Land's Sake Farm welcomes the start of summer with our Solstice Dinner. Guests gather at long tables beneath the tent to savor a seasonal farm-to-table dinner that celebrates the freshest produce from our fields.

This year's Solstice Dinners will support farm education scholarships and provide vital funding for Land's Sake education programs.

We are delighted to welcome back Chef Keith Sarasin, who will once again create a memorable, farm-inspired menu highlighting the best of the season.
