munity Table
We are excited to finish out a year of incredible culinary experiences with a special series of Community Table dinners, led by our very own Chef Doug Settle and The Ecology Center fermentation, bakery, and beverage teams. These beloved dinners will continue to more deeply connect chefs, farmers, and the community around delicious ecological meals while inspiring a relationship of stewardship with the land. To ensure that these beautiful experiences won’t be affected by the weather, we will be hosting these final dinners in the cozy shelter of our rustic greenhouse with a smaller guest list.
Join us for an intimate, family-style feast featuring thoughtful courses crafted from ingredients grown on our 28-acre Regenerative Organic™ farm.
With a guest list capped at just 60 people, this intimate gathering is designed to provide an authentic taste of the farm.

The Community Table
accord
Our Community Table dinner series began with the development of the Community Table Accord–a set of principles developed by chefs and leaders of the regenerative food movement to promote sustainability throughout all aspects of sourcing, preparing, and eating food. At The Ecology Center, we believe that everyday, simple solutions create big change in our communities. Together, we are building a healthy, vibrant future designed around the understanding that we are a part of nature.
The Community Table Accord is an effort to mainstream sustainability in the global farm-to-table community. Shaped, practiced, and shared by our found chefs, the Community Table Accord advances the conversation at the dinner table. By living and eating in accordance with these principles, each one of us contributes to a more abundant future.
