Locally Grown Dinner Series

Our 2010 Locally Grown Dinner Series begins in September! This series is a celebration of locally grown food and Nantucket farmers & growers; the artistry of Nantucket’s chefs; and the spirit of Island community. These dinners have become a seasonal favorite of many, and are always sold-out affairs.

Straight Wharf Restaurant, Óran Mór Bistro, and American Seasons will host dinners this fall. The series benefits Sustainable Nantucket, and proceeds go towards our programs, campaigns and outreach including the Farmers & Artisans Market, Community Agriculture, and Sustainable Nantucket Youth Council.

Each restaurant will feature seasonal dishes highlighting locally grown ingredients in an effort to raise awareness about the importance of eating and buying locally. As well as supporting the work of Sustainable Nantucket, the series will also help SN continue to strengthen the connection between consumers and growers, food producers and chefs.

Tickets are sold through Sustainable Nantucket only and can be purchased online or by phone. Please note, there is a small additional fee for the ticket processing service we use.
