A delicious evening with a meaningful mission is in store this September as Teter Retreat & Organic Farm hosts its annual Farm to Table Dinner on Friday, Sept. 12, at the Harbour Trees Main Clubhouse.

“The Farm to Table Dinner is our cornerstone fundraising event,” Teter Director of Operations Katy Rogers said. “It sustains our year-round food security mission, and with rising demand from programs like Fueled for School, the Fishers Youth Assistance Program, and others, your support is more crucial than ever.”
Tickets are $85 per person, which includes appetizers and a locally inspired three-course dinner with a choice of chicken or vegetarian entrée. Sponsorship opportunities begin at $500 for individuals and $1,000 for organizations, offering supporters the chance to deepen their impact.
Backed by Mission Partners including the Hamilton County Community Foundation and Jackie and Dave Cox, this year’s dinner promises an elegant, locally sourced menu featuring fresh vegetables grown on-site at Teter Organic Farm.

Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen will once again serve as emcee for the evening. Special guests include Good Samaritan Network Executive Director Nancy Chance and Hinkle Creek Elementary School Principal Jack Lawrence and Rogers, who will all speak to the growing need for food assistance and the farm’s impact.
Teter Organic Farm, a mission outreach of Noblesville First United Methodist Church, donated over 50,000 servings of produce in 2024 through partnerships with Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank and dozens of local pantries and meal programs. The goal for 2025: more than 60,000 servings of fresh, organic food grown with care and shared with compassion.
Tickets and sponsorships can be purchased at TeterOrganicFarm.com or go directly to the tickets and sponsorships site. Ticket sales will remain open until the event is sold out or until Sept. 1, 2025, whichever comes first.
