The Grand Feast at the Farm
This is the loud one. A working farm, long tables, open fire, and a crowd that's spent years talking through a screen. Bring a hat, bring an appetite, plan to stay all day.
The centerpiece is a live chef competition judged in the open, with Chef Cameron of Mason Dixon Distillery in the mix. Mason Dixon runs a cash bar on site — the distillery pours at the farm before it hosts the room on Sunday.
Outdoors, all day, rain or shine. Comfortable shoes and a folding chair are not a bad idea.

Sunday, September 13
Dinner at Mason Dixon Distillery
Mason Dixon sits in a restored 1900s foundry in downtown Gettysburg. Sunday evening the room is ours — dinner by Chef Cameron and his kitchen, the bar pouring what they distill in the building, the whole night built for actually talking to people.
This is the small one. The dining room sets a hard ceiling on seats, and once they're gone they're gone. If you're choosing one night to be in the room, this is it.
Ticket sales cover the cost of the evening. Every dollar above cost goes to the Anti Trafficking Bureau.
