harvest celebration dinner

Friday, October 3rd, 2008
Cocktails: 6:00 p.m. - Dinner: 7:30 p.m.

Chico Hot Springs Resort
$75 a person or $550 for a table of eight

This locally grown feast matches regionally renowned chefs with food grown on Montana’s sustainably managed farms and ranches.

The dinner is formatted as a “sustainable tasting.” Diners will move from tasting station to tasting station sampling appetizers, entrées and dessert featuring Montana meats, grains, vegetables and fruits. Entrées stations will showcase both natural and grass-fed beef, chicken, fish, pork and vegetarian cuisine with side dishes using a wide array of grains and fall root vegetables. Each table will receive a dessert sampler plate showcasing Montana fruits and dairy products.

All the chefs participating in the dinner support local producers and will use their culinary skills to create dishes designed to highlight the best characteristics of each food. Click here for the list of participating chefs of the 2007 Dinner.

The Harvest Celebration is an integral part of CNR’s Market Connection Program to open lucrative markets for sustainable producers as a reward for outstanding stewardship.

The Harvest dinner also serves as CNR’s major fundraiser to support our work to promote sustainable choices and land stewardship throughout the region. There will be silent auction and a brief live auction during the evening.

To reserve a ticket, sponsor a table or donate a silent auction item contact CNR at (406) 222-0730 or info@northrock.org.
