“The Farm to Table Dinner is one of the highlights of the farm year,” Operations Director Katy Rogers said. “We’re on track to raise and donate 45,000 servings of fresh organic produce to Hamilton County residents in need.”

Tickets are $85 each and include appetizers, a three-course meal with a choice of chicken or vegetarian entrée, and two drinks (including beer and wine). Sponsorship packages are also available starting at just $500.

This year’s event, supported by Mission Partners Daystar Directional Drilling along with Jackie and Dave Cox, promises a delightful culinary experience. The menu will prominently feature fresh vegetables from Teter Organic Farm. The culinary expertise will be provided by Sahm’s Hospitality Group, a renowned local family-owned culinary powerhouse, ensuring a memorable dining experience that highlights local produce and flavors while supporting a great mission.

The evening will feature a program moderated by Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen and a panel of special guests, including the leaders who created Teter Organic Farm: Pastor Aaron Hobbs, the first Director, Jonah Tabb, Teter’s first Farm Manager, and Katy Rogers, Teter’s current Operations Director. The program will celebrate the origins of this incredible mission while sharing the path to expanding Teter’s food security mission.

Hamilton County Community Foundation is a sponsor and community partner in Teter’s food security mission.

Because we also believe everyone deserves to eat healthy food.”
