About

Thrive aims to celebrate the true meaning of “farm to table” by cultivating, preparing and cooking individual ingredients in their prime and showcasing them in our beautiful “dining room” located in the heart of our garden, where the walls are forever changing. The dinner is a 6+ course set tasting menu based on the season's available harvest, where we grow and raise much of what is served.

Guests are to arrive at 6:00pm to have time to get settled and take in the beautiful view of the farm and the scents from the surrounding gardens. After the first 4 courses, we welcome guests to take a break, stretch the legs, wander through the gardens and visit the farm animals. We then gather back for the final courses. The evening usually wraps up around 9:00pm.

Duration

The full dinner experience lasts approximately 3 hours, including time to relax, explore the garden, and enjoy all courses.
