Dining on the Deck

.Announcement!! We are excited to present “Dining on the Deck,” a series of multi-course, fine dining events on the deck overlooking the bluff at Hartman Reserve. These delicious fundraisers feature the talent of award-winning Chef Jes from Moment in Thyme. Chef Jes focuses on using only the freshest ingredients and partners with local farmers and producers.

You may register for one of the three events, or two of them, or all three events. (This fun experience would make an excellent birthday present, or date night, or night out with friends!)
