Local Dinners
We love hosting and planning dinners that support our local food economy! All dinners put on by Jonesborough Locally Grown feature locally grown food and products created and sold right here in our region. We host two different types of dinners/events outside of our Farm to Table Dinner: 100 Mile Dinners and Burger Nights at Boone Street Market.
Burger Nights

5:30 to 7:30 pm

100 Mile Dinners
Seasonal - a few times per year

All proceeds from dinners hosted by Jonesborough Locally Grown

Last Year’s 100 Mile Dinner was a great success. Planning is in the works for this year’s dinner. Stay Tuned.
Last year’s 100 Mile Dinner was located on-farm at Serenity Knoll Farm in Jonesborough, TN. Chef Felipe Pimentel designed and prepared a 4-dish, Brazilian-inspired meal.
Once this year’s event is set it will be posted via The Locally Grown Beet newsletter mailing list; social media posts on Facebook and Instagram
