On The Farm Dinner Series: Ellijay Mushrooms

The afternoon of Saturday, November 14
Adults $175 · Children $65

Join FOODWORK and Neighborhood Supper Club for a family afternoon at Ellijay Mushrooms, bringing together the farmers who grow our food, the chefs who prepare it, and the people who gather to enjoy it.

Our afternoon begins with a farmer-led tour of this specialty mushroom farm in the North Georgia mountains. Meet the growers, explore the cultivation spaces, and learn about the varieties grown here and the care that goes into producing them.

There’s time to explore and play, too. An on-site playground and hands-on gem mining offer something for younger guests to enjoy alongside the farm experience.

We are delighted to share that MasterChef alumni Courtney Fraley and Adam Head will be joining us. 

The couple met competing on MasterChef season 15, and their shared love of plant-based cooking makes them such a wonderful fit for a dinner celebrating our love of mushrooms. They’ve created a five course, mushroom-forward menu we can’t wait to reveal to you soon. With a farmer-led tour and the opportunity to share a meal where its ingredients were grown, we’re bringing guests closer to the people and land behind their food.

20% goes directly to Ellijay Mushrooms. Bringing guests to the farm also creates opportunities to shop mushrooms directly from the growers and take something home from their lovely gift shop.

An Afternoon for the Whole Family

Children are welcome throughout the experience. Come with friends, bring your family, and spend an afternoon learning, exploring, and sharing a meal in the mountains.

If you’d like to make a weekend of it, we’re happy to help you find nearby family-friendly accommodations, including options that are super friendly to dogs.
