Amos House will hold an urban farm-to-table dinner fundraiser called From Seed to Spoon at the Steel Yard on September 28th, 2013 with special guest, chef, author, and TV host Dave Lieberman. The evening will feature an elegant multi-course farm dinner experience showcasing a seasonal menu using farm-fresh produce. More Than A Meal Catering, a division of Amos House Works, will prepare unforgettable gourmet dishes to delight every palate. Each course will spotlight seasonal fall produce, sustainable meat, and freshly caught seafood from local farmers and will be served with wine and beer pairings.

Prior to dinner, there will be a VIP reception at 5:30 with a special workshop from Pasture to Plate. They’ll show you how additions from the farmer’s market can elevate classic cocktails to the next level. Learn how to use fine spirits and fresh ingredients to create cocktails for every occasion. Then have a chance to sample these tasty libations and snack on raw bar and appetizers fresh from the farm.
