Savor the Season Around the Table
Inspired by sunset meals enjoyed outdoors during the harvest season by the family behind Riverview Farm, Dinner in the Orchard celebrates the beauty and bounty of the land through cuisine created by guest chefs. No two dinners are alike, and the festive, family-style table makes the evening as much about those gathered together as the food.
Explore The Farm
“Careful consideration was given to what we wanted the Dinner in the Orchard experience to not only look like but how it would feel to those who came to dine with us. A long table would bring friends and strangers together. Flowers would be bursts of color on the tables and when possible, they would come from our own flower fields. Candles would flicker in the twilight, lending warmth to the cool evening air and locally sourced food would be passed down the table, connecting everyone as the night progressed.”

Agriculture
Riverview Farm has more than 2,000 apple trees, and grows acres of berries, pumpkins, and flowers. Pick your own during certain times of the year, or pop by the barn store for produce as well as farmmade treats like cider and jams, plus artisanal products from other local makers.
Locality
Meals are “community-to-table” as Dinner in the Orchard collaborates with regional chefs and caterers to showcase the best of Riverview and other New Hampshire farms (we recommend heading to the farm's website for recipe inspiration).
Enrichment
Around the holidays, Riverview hosts their popular wreath-making workshops using materials gathered from the farm’s property, and greens from a nearby tree farm.
