Join us at Empire Mills for a garden & local farm centric dinner! Presented in partnership with Beautiful Minds Foundation.

Our pop-up dinners are back! After sharing so many beautiful moments with our community during our series last summer, we are thrilled to announce our new Spring Series: Dinner with Friends.

Dinner with Friends will be an intimate dining experience where you can arrive alongside your old friends and leave with a few new ones. Along the way, you will be treated to a curated culinary experience focusing on a specific style of cuisine.

Farm to Fork

For the final dinner of our series, Farm to Fork will be a unique dinner offering curated by what is in season and freshly available not only in our own garden, but also through our local farm partners, Levity Farms and Stokes Farm.

A few things you can expect: small bites, appetizers, a main course, and a cheese plate spread to finish.

Our cash bar will be serving a variety of wine and beer throughout the event and a portion of all proceeds will benefit Beautiful Minds Foundation, a non-profit founded by our dear friend Evelyn Corley, that is committed to providing financial assistance to neurodivergent learners across Georgia.

Reserve your spot today!

This dinner was thoughtfully planned to conclude with plenty of time for guests to attend the Madison Chamber Music Festival's Grand Finale concert, featuring performances by Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner and the winner of the Youth Music Competition. This concert starts at 7:30pm and will be held in the historic MMCC Auditorium. Click here to see more!

More About Beautiful Minds Foundation

Neurodiversity is a concept that recognizes and celebrates the natural variations in human neurological development. It suggests that differences in neurological functioning, including conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, mood disorders, and others, are a normal and natural part of human diversity, rather than being viewed as a disorder or pathology that needs to be fixed.

Celebrating neurodiversity in children is important because it promotes a positive and accepting attitude towards differences in neurological development. Every child is unique, and recognizing and celebrating these differences can help to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for children with neurodivergent traits.

Furthermore, celebrating neurodiversity can help to reduce the stigma and discrimination that is often associated with neurological differences. It can promote greater understanding and acceptance among peers, teachers, and the broader community, which can lead to a more inclusive and supportive environment for all children.

Beautiful Minds Foundation is on a mission to provide financial support and services to learners in Georgia with beautiful minds. From ADHD and autism to mood disorders and dyslexia, they aim to ease the financial burden of tutoring and school choices for these individuals. Celebrating the beauty of thinking differently, join us in supporting this incredible foundation at our Dinner with Friends series!
