Join Chef Tyler Anderson of Millwright’s and TA-Que as he collaborates with Sub Edge Farm at next week’s Culinary Tour at Stone Acres Farm in Stonington!

It’s a celebration of the incredible chefs, makers, farmers, and purveyors who make Connecticut’s culinary community so special — and, most importantly, an opportunity to give back.

While our industry is often the one raising funds to support others, this evening helps raise money that goes directly back into our industry through advocacy.

Come eat, drink, connect, and celebrate the people who make Connecticut’s hospitality community so remarkable. 💛
