Chambersburg, Pa. — A dinner to celebrate Wilson’s College’s Fulton Farm, as well as to raise money for the farm and its programs, will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 in the farm’s Owens Barn. Tickets for the family-style dinner, “People, Place, Plates: Growing for the Future,” are $30 per person or $50 per couple.

The dinner, which is limited to those age 21 and older, will feature organically grown food from the farm and other local partners, plus music and conversation. Those attending will meet and learn about present and past Fulton Farm crew members, as well as other sustainable food businesses and their contributions to the community, according to Chris Mayer, director of Wilson’s Fulton Center for Sustainable Living.

Proceeds from the event will support “ongoing development and education of our future farmers, stewards and leaders at the Fulton Farm,” Mayer said.
