Outstanding in the Field

We returned to @thehickories August 30, 2025 to set the long table once again. We greatly appreciate our host Farmer Dina, who has welcomed the OITF culinary caravan to The Hickories for nearly ten years. The wandering whimsy of OITF is a perfect match for the once-city poet become country farmer. Dina’s poetry is now in the field—more boots on the ground than words on the page. She has a vibrant farmstand and CSA with fruits and vegetables, a friendly flock of sheep, and a new native wildflower program. This time of year, the dahlias were exploding like fireworks.
