Farmhouse Table Supper: “Lamb. Wood Fire. Smoke and Coals”

East Forty Farm and Dairy
2361 Friendship Road
Waldoboro
08/18/2019 | 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm

East Forty Farm is a working farm, and as you dine you will hear the cow’s bells as they graze in the field; contented grunts from the pigs in their forest pasture; and assorted clucks and quacks. The early evening is filled with bird song, and the Medomak River is illuminated by the setting sun in the distance. Each supper has a theme and the summer series is prepared by guest chefs and is limited to 20 guests.

“Lamb. Wood Fire. Smoke and Coals” will be prepared by Guy Hernandez, owner of Lolita Vinoteca Asador, in Portland.

Menu: Lolita is known for their wood fired grill cooking and this menu will be built around Maine raised lamb and Mediterranean flavors cooked over wood and coals. Full menu will be released closer to the supper.

$75 per person, BYOB

Since its inception in August 2002, Le Vent du Nord has enjoyed meteoric success, performing well over 1,800 concerts over 5 continents and racking up several prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), a Félix at ADISQ, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and “Artist of the Year” at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala.
