KILLEEN FARM TAKEOVER Dinner
T + W, October 4 + 5, 2022
SOLD OUT
Shelburne, Vermont
Adventure Dinner returned to Killeen Crossroads Farm for two days to host the ultimate chef-driven, farm-to-table dinner!
Chef James Kitchens (Adventure Dinner) and Chef Breana Lai Killeen (formerly EatingWell Magazine’s Test Kitchen Manager) hosted guests for a 4-course ode to their Chinese and Filipino heritage using the Asian vegetables, eggs, and chickens raised on the farm. We were treated to a multi-course meal featuring the fall harvest paired with cocktails and wine, sauntering through this beautiful property in Shelburne.
The night kicked off with a refreshing aperitivo cocktail served from a 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser turned bar–a perfect sip to have in hand as we toured the fields, learning about the innovative and sustainable agricultural practices the Killeens use for raising chickens, cows, veggies and fruit.
For dinner, we sat at our long table next to the open-air kitchen for a feast cooked over open flames. Each course was paired with drinks that take guests on a journey through the homestyle Asian cooking that set a culinary foundation for both our Chefs.
We ended our adventure with dessert on the farmhouse porch and patio, lingering in golden hour rays—a perfect end to a crisp fall evening on the farm.
Limited tickets were available for this intimate two-night engagement.
