Our 2024 Partners
With the new Smith Center as the hub of our event series, we have the ability to host more events that will provide guests with a deeper connection to food, farming, and the excellent chefs and producers we have here in Maine. This season, we have three different categories of events that provide different experiences with our partners. Those categories are:
Signature events are similar to the events we have held previously as part of the series. A great opportunity for our whole community to gather and enjoy good food and each other’s company!
Max 130 people.
Smaller-scale dinners that provide a deeper connection to food, farming, and the excellent chefs and producers we have here in Maine.
Max 50 people.
A hands-on learning opportunity with local producers and experts. Very similar to previous year’s Sip & Savor events, these smaller events will dive deep with an expert producer, farmer, or chef on a particular subject.
Max 50 people.
Thursday, April 25th 5:30-8 pm: Hot Pot Dinner with Chris Toy & Tripping Gnome Farm at the Smith Center
Enjoy a hot pot dinner with renowned cookbook author Chris Toy and Freeport’s own Tripping Gnome Farm! Staying true to tradition, this hot pot meal aims to inspire warmth, unity, and connection while highlighting locally sourced meat and produce. This meal will also include an interactive discussion on mushroom production by Tripping Gnome Farm. We hope you can join us for this hands-on, educational dining experience. Tickets are $85/person and include beer and wine from Maine Beer Co. and Devenish Wines.
Join the Host Committee to gain early access to purchase tickets for the entire season starting in April. Our Members will have the opportunity to purchase remaining tickets two months prior to each event, while general audiences will gain access shortly thereafter.

The Farm to Table series supports all of the work we do here at Wolfe’s Neck Center to create a world where agriculture and food systems support farmer viability, thriving ecosystems, and vibrant communities. The Host Committee plays a key role in making this series a success – and so much fun. We invite you to “dig-in” and help us make a real impact in 2024 while enjoying some delicious food.

If you are unable to attend an event, you may transfer your tickets to another person and provide us with their name and contact information, or if there is a waitlist for the event, we can refund you and sell the tickets to someone else.
Yes, all events will be held rain or shine. That is one of the exciting things about the Smith Center!
If an event sells out, there will be the option to join a waitlist. If tickets become available, those on the waitlist will be given the opportunity to purchase them on a first-come, first-served basis. We anticipate more movement with the waitlist this year, so we encourage people to sign up for spots on the waitlist!
Our food partners will do their best to provide vegetarian and gluten–free options, but please notify us in advance of any food allergies.
Support our work! Your tax-deductible gift supports a better future for farming, our children, and the planet.
