Leaf Peeping at Gibbet Hill and Bancroft’s Castle

October 24, 2024

Gibbet Hill is a beautiful location for leaf peeping in the fall and we welcome visitors to enjoy the property and trails. The view from the top of the hill is unsurpassed in this area, and we highly recommend making the trek!

After parking in the lot, please walk towards the driveway entrance, where you will find a kiosk that has a map of the property and directions to the trail, which begins behind the pond near the road.

PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF ANY WEDDING CEREMONIES ON THE LAWN AND DO NOT WALK THROUGH THAT AREA.

If you bring a dog, please bring waste bags and take out what you take in.

Hops & Crops Dinner

Celebrate autumn’s harvest as you enjoy farm-to-fork cuisine showcasing all that this quintessential New England season has to offer!

Join us on Wednesday, November 6th for the 10th annual Hops & Crops farm-to-fork dinner with beer pairings provided by Widowmaker Brewing!

The cocktail hour will feature passed and stationed hors d’oeuvres where guests can meet the chef, and learn about how we keep up with abundance of produce growing on Gibbet Hill Farm. A Gibbet Hill Farm manager will be on hand to discuss growing practices and what it is like to work with the chefs and culinary teams of Webber Restaurant Group. Sample a variety of Widowmaker’s brews and meet members of the brewing team as they discuss how they “consistently produce great beer and push themselves to get better with every batch of beer” they brew.

After the cocktail hour, commune with other guests during a thoughtfully prepared family-style dinner. To top off this special dinner event, a representative from Widowmaker will lead the group through the beers paired with each course.

Gibbet Hill Farm Dinners 2024

August 12, 2024

CLICK HERE FOR FARM DINNER TICKETS.

Join us for an enchanting evening at Gibbet Hill. Immerse yourself in the rustic charm of this picturesque countryside setting, and indulge in a memorable farm dinner like no other.

This culinary adventure begins on the farm for a cocktail hour featuring farm cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, alongside our crops. Members of our farm team are on site to give tours and answer any questions. For dinner, stroll back to the deck at The Barn and engage in lively conversations with fellow diners, as you savor each bite of the exquisite farm-to-table fare at a seated, three-course meal.

MENU

Our chef will start planning the menu just a day or so ahead of time, after determining which vegetables and fruits are ready for harvest. Due to the nature of this type of menu planning, we may not have a finalized menu until the day of the dinner. We can accommodate allergies, but with the style of this dinner, we will not know the modifications in advance. This dinner is an adventure and will primarily showcase items coming off our farm. Dinner will be four courses (three courses, in a combination of family style and plated, plus cocktail hour tastes.) Beverages will be provided and will include beer, wine and soft drinks.

PLAN YOUR VISIT

Seats are very limited for this event, as we will only be hosting up to 40 guests per dinner at one long farm table. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes, as a portion of this dinner will be held on the farm grounds. (Assistance will be provided for anyone unable to navigate the dirt road to the farm tables.)
