With ingredients straight from local farmers, bakers, gardeners and craft beverage producers, a scrumptious Farm-to-Table Dinner will be hosted in historic Watertown at Whited Family Farm, 10001 Sparta Pike, on May 16.
This evening of dining under the pavilion, from 6-9 p.m., will be enveloped by incredible farm views and a relaxing atmosphere. Tickets are $125 each, and include dinner by Chef Lisa Ramsey, live music from Jay Bragg, wine from DelMonaco Winery & Vineyards, beer from Cedar City Brewing Co., fruit teas and wonderful new friendships.
Lisa is a certified chef/owner of Lisa's Culinary Creations based from La Vergne, as well as executive chef at Sidekicks Café, super chef for Sam's Club and master judge for World Food Championships.
“We’re looking forward to providing attendees the best farm to table experience ever,” says Natalie Whited. “Guests will get a dinner where they’ll sample several different cuts of Angus beef raised right here on our farm, paired with sides and a dessert that will fill your bellies, along with conversations and experiences that will soothe your soul.”
When the Whiteds aren’t hosting this type of unique community meal for about 100 guests, typically once in the spring and once in the fall, they’re operating a family-operated, USDA-certified beef farm.
Taking a natural and sustainable approach to regenerative farming is an every day mission at this farm, which was established in 2012, says Brad Whited. “We think to feed our community the highest quality meats and produce, we need to feed care into our animals and soil. We believe in growing good food that’s healthy and sustainable because at the end of the day, we are what we eat.”
Brad says they also completed Tennessee Master Beef and Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement programs to ensure their cattle are getting the highest quality of care possible.
The farm offers grass-fed finished beef, pork, eggs, seasonal produce and food pantry items. They deliver throughout Wilson County, or offer on-farm pick up.
Their fresh-to-fork events were launched in 2021 to bring the local community together as one. Many of their executive chefs for these events come in from Nashville restaurants. “We teach our community about what makes up good food, and they’re able to right then and there try those products,” says Natalie.
