Harvest Dinner & Silent Auction
Back again and bigger and better than ever, the Friends of Holcomb Farm will host our annual Harvest Dinner & Silent Auction on Saturday, November 9, at the NEW Metro Bis Restaurant location at the Ensign House in Simsbury. This authentic farm-to-table meal, expertly prepared by Chef Chris Prosperi using all the great bounty from Holcomb Farm, is the single most important fundraiser for our Fresh Access program.
Fresh Access annually provides over 8,000 pounds of fresh produce to individuals and organizations that might not otherwise have access to local, chemical-free food. Locally, this includes Granby’s weekly Waste-Not-Want-Not dinners, the Senior Center, and individual families, through Granby Social Services. Other institutions in the greater Farmington Valley and Hartford area, including the Wheeler Clinic and the Healing Meals Community Project, also are served.
The Silent Auction offers myriad opportunities to bid on great stuff from local contributors. Last year’s bidding opportunities included original Laura Eden art, weekends in vacation homes, a professionally guided fishing trip, gift certificates to local restaurants, yoga and massage sessions, and much, much more. We hope you’ll join us!
