Nothing says summer like delicious food fresh from the grill. Come to Powisset Farm and learn the in’s, out’s, tips, and tricks for field to grill meals. Chef Thi will be grill master leading the charge on spicy, garlicky roasted harissa vegetables, stone fruit salad with arugula and goat cheese, and a briny, lemony herb chicken spiedini (all prepared on the grill of course). We will enjoy the meal we prepared in the beautiful setting of Powisset Farm. You will be given recipes to bring home. Limited to 12.
