Chef Feature—Farm to Table Dinner September 2025

On September 6th RCHS will be joined by chefs from Local Effort for a member-exclusive Farm to Table dinner at Gibbs Farm

We are excited to be partnering with local chefs Weston Smith and Catherine Olsen, who will cook a refined farm-to-table dinner experience for our members, on site at the beautiful and historic Gibbs Farm. Local Effort makes American food with midwestern ingredients, combining restaurant techniques with a home cook’s sensibility.
