Friends of the Farm

 

August is Garden Month here on the farm, and all month long, we’re celebrating the bright blooms, overflowing baskets of fruits, vegetables and herbs, and — most importantly — the indescribably delicious flavors of a Blackberry Summer.

The only way to experience the many joys of Garden Month is to see it for yourself — from sunset Garden Dinners to daily instruction from our Garden team and so much more. And with Joseph Lenn recently being introduced as the Executive Chef of The Barn, his commitment to showcasing the best of Blackberry’s garden-to-table cuisine will be clear with every plate and every presentation.

But tasting the freshest produce of the year isn’t the only experience to be had here at Blackberry this August. A full calendar of exciting events is set to make this one of the year’s most memorable months. Once again, Appetite For Life (August 19-22) will feature leading personalities from the world of food, wine and entertainment, with Population Services International ambassadors Mandy Moore and Ashley Judd on hand to raise awareness about the needs of children around the world. This special weekend will also include appearances by Chef Suzanne Goin, chocolatier Katrina Markoff and the wines of Chappellet Winery. Don’t miss this once-a-year opportunity to raise a glass to good times and a great cause!

At the end of the month, Blackberry welcomes a true culinary icon as New York chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud hosts DBL (August 30-September 1), one of our signature Food & Wine events. Joining Daniel will be Château Latour, bringing some of the Médoc region’s most sought-after vintages exclusively for our guests. Reserve your place today for this rare event here on the farm.

Soon, the first hints of Fall will begin to appear and our Labor Day Summer send-off will arrive the first weekend in September. We invite you to enjoy all that August and Garden Month have to offer, so don’t miss the last great days of the Blackberry Summer.

We hope to see you soon!
