New for 2017! Farm to Table Dining at Hoyt Sherman Place
Beginning in 2017, The Wallace Centers of Iowa is partnering with Hoyt Sherman Place (HSP) to offer locally-sourced meals prior to about 40 selected performances.
Chef Katie Porter will create tasty seasonal menus from the best local ingredients. Front and center in each dish are the sustainably-grown fruits and vegetables from our own Country Life Center farm near Orient. Other ingredients such as meats, cheese, and grains are purchased from Iowa family farms such as Bridgewater Farms (Bridgewater), Cory Family Farms (Elkhart), Early Morning Harvest (Panora), Milton Creamery (Milton), Harvest Barn (Osceola), and La Quercia (Norwalk).
Cost for the meals range from $40 to $48/person. Performance tickets are not included.
Reservations for Farm to Table Dining at Hoyt Sherman Place can be made by calling Hoyt Sherman Place at 515.244.0507. All reservations will be confirmed 24 hours prior to the event.
