Eat the Sun: A Radiant Summer Experience in Farm-to-Table Dining

Farm-to-Table Dinner: August 3, 2025
Hosted at Crown Hill Farm, Eden, NY

Join us for Eat the Sun — a vibrant, sensory celebration of summer and flavor in full bloom. This is more than a meal. It’s an invitation to slow down, connect with the land, and savor a golden-hued farm-to-table dinner at the height of the growing season.

The Experience:

On Saturday, August 3rd, return to Crown Hill Farm for an unforgettable midsummer meal designed by Chef Jessica Arends of Cornelia at AKG. Known for her playful, ever-evolving approach to seasonal cooking, Jessica brings bold creativity and refined artistry to each course. No two meals with her are ever the same — each one reflects the fleeting beauty of what’s fresh, abundant, and inspiring in that exact moment.

You’ll dine in the open air, surrounded by fields and flowers at their peak, enjoying a menu that celebrates sunshine—golden vegetables, vibrant edible blooms, and flavors that sing of summer’s warmth.

As someone who’s cooked on the farm before, Jessica never fails to surprise and delight. Personally, I’m always most excited to see what she dreams up for the intermezzo — that tiny, palate-cleansing bite where her imagination truly shines.

Whether it’s your first time at Crown Hill or you’ve joined us before, this evening will feel like stepping into a sun-drenched dream.
