Farm to Table Dinner Set for June 13

The Hancock County Farm Bureau Foundation will host its annual Farm to Table Dinner on Saturday, June 13, at Smokin’ Gun in Hamilton. The evening will highlight delicious, locally inspired food along with conversation and community fellowship. The event will begin with a social hour at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:00 p.m.

Each meal will feature a 5 oz. Kansas City strip filet and a 5 oz. grilled pork loin, along with a garden salad, fresh roasted vegetables, and homemade bread served with freshly churned honey butter and jam. Dessert will include Texas sheet cake and ice cream. Tea and lemonade are included with the meal, and a cash bar will offer wines from Lake Hill Winery, Baxter’s Winery, and Press House Winery. Meats will be grilled by the Hancock County Beef Association.

This one-of-a-kind event serves as a fundraiser for the Hancock County Farm Bureau Foundation, with proceeds supporting local Ag in the Classroom programs and college scholarships for Hancock County students pursuing an interest in agriculture.
