Local Event
Come celebrate the favorite fruit of the season with our fifth annual Tomato Dinner! If you love tomatoes, the big, the small, the oblong and the heirlooms then this is your event! We've grown our own and partnered with our favorite famers to display the beauty of their tomato rows to bring you a five course dinner with carefully selected wine pairings to delight your palate.
This dinner was inspired by a trip our owner, Wendy Lynam, took several years ago to Avignon, France. Restaurant Christian Etienne, has a sign out front advertising "The Tomato Menu", every course, including dessert, featured tomatoes! It was so good the first night she went back two more times before leaving Provence. Here's a write up from the New York Times explaining more about the Michelin Star restaurant's tomato homage: https://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/13/dining/a-celebration-of-the-tomato.html
"When we opened the restaurant in 2019, I wanted to start this tradition at Topsoil. Who better to interpret the concept than, Chef Adam Cooke! I knew he would know how to make this special for our guests" said Wendy.
Now in it's fifth year, we look forward to celebrating the star of the season with you all. We have a lot tomato plants growing at the farm, all different varieties, and we can't wait to see what Adam and his team create!
Please note: This will not be a strictly plant based dinner. Our Plant Based Tomato Dinner will be on July 10.
