HOST FARMER: Dina Brewster | The Hickories GUEST CHEF: Benjamin Bruckenthal | The Farmers' Feast Inc. GUEST WINERY: César Vega & Lou Remy | Barbichette Farmer Dina 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 will be exploding like fireworks.
