“The Farm-to-Table event is not just a dining experience, it’s a celebration of our community’s rich agricultural heritage and the artistry of our talented local chefs at Willow Bend,” Dray said. “By showcasing the bountiful produce from our region, we aim to emphasize the importance of supporting local businesses and fostering a sustainable food ecosystem.”
