Feast from the Fields FAQs!

What to expect: Feast from the Fields is an annual celebration of community, sustainability, and the harvest season. 

This highly anticipated gathering is also a critical source of support for Common Ground’s mission and programs. The event takes place Saturday September 19 from 6-9 PM on our sustainable outdoor site and showcases innovative dishes and cocktails prepared by many of New Haven’s renowned chefs. Participating teams are invited to select ingredients from the best of our Urban Farm’s fall harvest. Our guests have the opportunity to meet the chefs, taste their creations, sample local libations, enjoy live music and bid on auction items that celebrate Common Ground’s mission. Together, we raise funds to support the vital work at Common Ground’s High School, Urban Farm, and Environmental Education Center.
