Event description
Celebrate the height of summer and sip some local beers with
Chef Skylar Pratt
and Community Beer Works
Mid-July and summer around here is at it’s best! The evenings are long just asking us to linger outside a little bit longer.
It’s the perfect time to sit and enjoy a meal al fresco!
Enjoy a feast-for-the-eyes, multi-course meal on the farm and experience all the delicious ways that our locally grown foods can be the stars on your plate. Relax amongst the gardens, orchards and grounds surrounded by the sounds of farm life.
With a love of local, sustainable, ethical culinary, Chef Skylar Pratt brings deep awareness of locally grown foods and an eye for beautiful dishes to Crown Hill Farm along with Community Beer Works’ seasonal, locally brewed beers.
Be greeted to the farm by Missy Singer DuMars along with her goofy flock of heritage geese, ducks & chickens as she gives you a tour of her beautiful sustainable farm & gardens.
Discover the interesting history of Crown Hill Farm and how Missy is returning the property to it’s farming roots. Learn about the unique heirloom varieties of produce grown at Crown Hill and the importance of diversity in our food systems and the exciting ways that our local restaurants utilize the gifts of food from our region.
Then sit down to a beautiful meal prepared by Chef Skylar Pratt, who brings us her love of gardening and passion for food to give you the pleasure of eating a meal straight from the farm. (detailed menu available closer to the event)In order to work with what is at its best, the full menu will not be finalized until soon before the dinner.)
Bring along your friends or family to sit together amongst the fullness of the apple orchard, gardens, surrounding hay field & vineyard with a view of Lake Erie on the horizon. Take in the beauty of the early evening light as Chef Skylar Pratt tantalizes you with her multi-courrse Farm-to-Table meal and addition optional add-on beer pairings hosted by Community Beer Works

About Chef Skylar Pratt: -A WNY native, born and raised in Wellsville, NY, Chef Skylar found her real passion behind the bar and in the kitchen while attending college at Fredonia for Music Education and English, playing rugby and working her way through school. After she graduated, she moved to Ithaca, where she really honed her culinary skills, and grew her love of local, sustainable, ethical culinary.
Eventually, Skylar came to Buffalo to cook at the Gypsy Parlor, broadening her palette by creating multi-cultural menus to highlight the diversity of Buffalo’s West Side. She also started their brunch program. Continuing her love affair with the West Side, she came to Community Beer Works.
Chef Skylar spent a lot of time working with other local restaurants and farmers as a knife-for-hire/roundsman… that is, until Covid hit. With a decline in restaurant dining, she got her real estate license, so that she could continue with her passion for helping everyone no matter income level or ethnicity to achieve their dreams, now through real estate. Then, a call came from Community Beer Works asking her to return. Chef Skylar now heads up their Special Events and Community Outreach Departments as their Executive Chef and Local Agriculture Liaison.
