March 28th - Farm to Market Dinner with Chef Brian Light
Enjoy a seasonal farm fresh multi course meal prepared by Chef Brian and Amanda Light of Ronin Cooking. Dine family style at the community table in our restored railroad warehouse in historic downtown Brenham. The menu will be sourced within 50 miles and the story of your food given by Chef Brian and Farmer Brad of Home Sweet Farm.
CHEF BRIAN and AMANDA LIGHT: Our hope is to share a deeper understanding, appreciation, and connection to our food. Fresh ingredients are of the utmost importance so we strive to utilize produce from our own garden or from local and organic producers.
With this in mind, we serendipitously settled on a 15 acre piece of land. On it, the late Don Ganter’s work – hand built old barns, a workshop, coops, and hutches – was entrusted to us and we have revived and repurposed them to give home to our ducks, guinea fowl, chickens, turkeys, roosters, and roaming heritage breed pigs.
We are content to let nature do what she intends so our practices do not include the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals. We hope to provide the community with the benefits of our land and our hard work.
