Albertville Farmers Market's fourth annual Farm to Table Dinner has officially been set for Thursday, September 5th, 2019, on Main Street! Tickets will go on sale mid summer, at Albertville Farmers Market, and online at cityofalbertville.com, via EventBrite. Stay tuned to the Farmers Market's social channels for an "on sale date" announcement! Pay close attention, as most years tickets are gone before most folks even hear they're on sale, and seating is limited to 150 people.

Farm to Table Dinner Setting |
If you've attended before, you know, the menu is ALWAYS a suprise and it gets better and better every single year! Featured chefs in the past have been Crystal McKone of Old Town Stock House and Jessica Hanners of Homecoming Cafe and Catering. Both previous chefs are known for their farm to fork menu concept, sourcing all of their ingredients locally, and helping cultivate sustainable farming in our community. The farmers market committee works directly with the chefs each year to help prepare a menu that will not only excite, but delight the taste buds of all our special guests we have the pleasure of hosting at this event year after year. We ensure that as many ingredients as possible from our menu come directly from the growers and vendors of Albertville Farmers Market, whether its livestock, greens or other produce, dairy, or even wine! Yes, don't you know, Albertville is home to the multiple award winning number one winery in the state of Alabama, Jules J. Berta Vineyards and Winery! If you've never considered a vineyard a farm, we suggest you take a visit to Berta's and check out Mr. Jules in action one sunny day!

Course 2, Farm to Table Dinner 2018 |
Perhaps the most charming part of this event that serves solely to highlight our local farmers and restaurants, is its setting on Main Street, in downtown Albertville. We line the street with long tables that accommodate 150 guests, and seat them family style, so they can enjoy not only the great food we serve them that night, but fellowship with their friends and neighbors as well! What's even better is, we, the farmers market committee, actually don't serve them at all. We leave this up to the Albertville High School ProStart Culinary and Event Planning Students. If you asked our community what makes this event one of their favorites all year, it'd be the aspect of how we incorporate education into the dinner by relying on the students to serve the meal, help us order the linens, china, and even sale tickets, and promote the event. We literally couldn't do it without them and we love watching them shine that night in September each year.
Without further ado, we are elated to announce the chef for this year's fourth annual Albertville Farmers Market Farm to Table Dinner, Chef JP Pendergrass of Local Joes- Albertville, Attalla, Rainbow City. We already know what you're thinking... Mmmmm! If you haven't had a chance to check out their new restaurant downtown Albertville, let us advise you to get there quickly. You're truly missing out! We can't wait to showcase them further September 5th at the dinner; snag your tickets this summer. Stay posted to our Facebook page @albertvillefarmersmarket for more details as they become available and frequent our farmers market, beginning May 2nd, each Thursday, this season for chances to win tickets! Remember, know your food, know your farmer, and support local. See you on September 5th!
