Cultivating Community

This summer, Cultivating Community is holding “Twilight Dinners,” candlelit 3-course meals prepared by local chefs from the organization’s organic bounty.
$15/person (byob); 6:00 p.m. in the orchard - Limit 50 attendees, reservations required. Seatings still available for the September 11 dinner.
To make a reservation, email craig@cultivatingcommunity.org or call 761-GROW.
Directions to Turkey Hill Farm: After crossing the Casco Bay Bridge from Portland, get in the right lane and turn right at the second set of traffic lights. Follow Route 77 4.3 miles, through Cape Elizabeth town center, then turn left at the second entrance to Old Ocean House Road (it intersects twice with Route 77). Turkey Hill Farm is the 4th driveway on the right.

Also, Cultivating Community is organizing another 20 Mile Meal this fall--an event that truly showcases the rich food system we have here in southern Maine while supporting the organization’s youth development and anti-hunger work.
If you would like to volunteer and be a part of the planning team, please contact event chair Sarah Bullett at sarahbullett@gmail.com or Craig Lapine at craig@cultivatingcommunity.org.

Individuals will also be needed to help with specific tasks such as set-up, clean-up and support during the event itself.

Cultivating Community is an organization based in Portland that grows food in the community in an organic, sustainable way and helps to feed people who are most vulnerable. The food-growing work is used in youth and community development programs that reconnect people to the natural and social systems that sustain us all.
