Stonegate Farm
22615 SW Ulsky Road, in West Linn
Pull out the straw hat for a special neighborhood dinner on August 28 at Stonegate and 19th Street Farms with seven dishes prepared by Chef Pascal Chureau of Allium Bistro, and wine poured by neighborhood winemakers Molly and Darrel Roby of Ribera Vineyards (located down the street).
Partakers will work up a hearty appetite strolling through the farm, on a tour guided by expert lavender farmer, Sarah Bader, while sipping away on a tall glass of lavender lemonade, or cool, crisp Ribera Pinot Gris. The scent of fresh lavender, arugula, and greens ready the palate for Farmer Miles’ famous tomato tasting before participants make their way to Allium’s community tables in the field. There, they will relax over seven fresh courses, each crafted from ingredients harvested straight from the farm and prepared over the rustic barbeque fired up alongside the community tables.
Nestling in for some good talk, diners might languor in the lively gypsy notes of the Djangophiles strumming nearby. Or they might find themselves entertained by the chickens clucking along in the field and feel the last of high summer in each bite of heirloom tomato, as they talk late into the evening.
Guests are invited to gather for the Farm Tour at 5:30, followed by Dinner in the Field at 6, where guests gather around community tables filled with family and friends.

I love the farm-to-table movement!
August 23, 2011 at 12:33
This sounds delicious, and I’d love to support one of our local farms!
August 23, 2011 at 12:36
I love local food and wine, and having it in the outdoors makes it even better.
August 23, 2011 at 12:38
Dinner in the field? How cool is that? I would be honored to be picked!
August 23, 2011 at 12:56
Sounds like a lovely dinner!
August 23, 2011 at 13:12
I love lavender lemonade! What a perfect way to end the summer.
August 23, 2011 at 13:14
Farm fresh food. Music. Wine. The American dream….or wait, maybe I dream it become the new American dream.
August 23, 2011 at 13:33
Nothing but support for the community. and it doesn’t get much fresher than the farm itself!
August 23, 2011 at 13:34
Fresh food straight from the farm? Pick me! My farmer boyfriend broke up with me this spring, my stomach yearns for fresh produce again. Nom nom nom.
August 23, 2011 at 13:44
I’m shortly moving to Alaska, where fresh produce means iceberg lettuce and green, watery tomatoes. Let me enjoy summer’s bounty before it eludes me for a few years.
August 23, 2011 at 13:45
Love it!
August 23, 2011 at 13:54
At a personal level food is what sustains us on a daily basis; at a regional level agriculture is still the backbone of our economy in spite of increasing challenges facing farmers. What could be more central to our lives, or a more obvious place to start in rebuilding the vitality of our communities, than a healthy, sustainable, local food system.
This sounds like a great example and I would love to be a part of it.
August 23, 2011 at 14:11
This is the first year since 2008 that we’re able to attend a farm dinner after hubby recovering from open heart surgery. We sure miss these events!
August 23, 2011 at 16:05
I’d love to go because Saturday is my birthday!
August 23, 2011 at 16:22
Yeah! I would love this opportunity!
August 23, 2011 at 18:37
The Allium family of plants includes onions, garlic, shallots and leeks, as well as gorgeous purple pompom ornamental flowers. That which is beautiful is also savory and delicious. This event is not just about eating and drinking, but in celebrating the cycle of food from its genesis to its life-sustaining purpose to its place in the community as well as to one’s individual gustatory aesthetic.
Food brings us together, and where better than Metro’s little gem of a city, West Linn. I would love to raise a glass and toast the harvest with newly made friends. Thank you Allium, for such a creative and sensually appealing event. I would love to toast the harvest with some lavendar lemonade!
August 23, 2011 at 23:11
What a great opportunity! This sounds just lovely!!! I hope I win! I’m a kind of a foody. Growing up in the willamette valley you appreciate food and wine and this dinner sounds so splendid! Hope I win!
August 23, 2011 at 23:13
P.s. Lavender lemonade sounds amazing!
August 24, 2011 at 13:43
“East Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants.” This event seems like that kind of occasion, and I’d love to attend!
August 24, 2011 at 13:59
I would love the chance to attend this event!
August 24, 2011 at 15:37
Lordy lordy do I want to go to this. Time for a picnic with strangers, wine, and din din.
August 24, 2011 at 16:46
I didn’t get to plant a garden this year and missed out on farm fresh food. And. The idea of a community table…awesome!
August 24, 2011 at 18:56
I’ve heard amazing things about these dinners on the farm. It would be a dreamy way to end the weekend.
August 24, 2011 at 20:21
What a great idea! This sounds fabulous and wonderful. What a great way to end the summer, my husband and I would be thrilled to go!!
August 25, 2011 at 13:30
will respond for food. will remain responsive while eating.
August 25, 2011 at 15:20
I literally have almost no food in my kitchen right now. I’ve eaten potatoes for the last three days. This might be the only “meal” I eat all summer.
August 25, 2011 at 15:24
My boyfriend doesn’t know this, but I am secretly Amish. Would love to get back on the farm!
August 25, 2011 at 17:08
it would be nice to get out of the city and enjoy dinner in west linn not to mention drink wine !
August 25, 2011 at 17:08
What a wonderful concept. I hope to be counted in.
August 25, 2011 at 18:15
If you don’t enter you can’t win. I am currently attending the International Culinary Program at the Art Institute of Portland. Al be it I am not totally a starving student, all my funds are tied up with school and furthering my education.
Attending this event would be amazing. I would be grateful for the experience to attend and learn more about the farm to fork movement.
August 25, 2011 at 18:48
This would be awesome to attend. Out of my price-range normally, but doable with free tickets.
August 25, 2011 at 19:47
sounds amazing and delicious! wish i could partake in more events like this
August 25, 2011 at 19:49
I would love to try the lavendar lemonade before tasting all the local delicacies ! It would be a relaxing evening for my husband who makes dinner for me every day.
August 25, 2011 at 20:18
Sounds like a perfect evening – excellent food, wine, and company!
August 25, 2011 at 20:21
But blast, I typed in an incorrect email address in my first attempt…

Wow, what a great way for my wife and I to enjoy one anothers company without our son… It would be pretty cool!
August 25, 2011 at 22:24
Great way to enjoy the warm weather.
August 25, 2011 at 23:29
This is outdoor dining at its best!…sipping fresh lavender lemonade..the warm summer breeze blowing wisps of hair infused with free floating lavender buds around our contented bodies; new friends to be discovered, sweet tomatoes, their essence still pungent on our tongues….chickens who might stroll by to “pay their respects”…this must be a dream…please don’t wake me up!
August 26, 2011 at 07:29
Pascal is the man (or l’homme – in French) for unequalled dining experience ideas. Bravo Pascal! Chef par excellence comme toujours!
August 26, 2011 at 07:40
The food, wine, tour, and atmosphere sound perfect for a sunday evening. I can not think of a better objective than to attend.
August 26, 2011 at 08:49
Why do I want to win tickets!? Because eating and keep our money local is one of the most important things we as Portlanders can do.
August 26, 2011 at 08:50
Who doesn’t love a seven course meal?
August 26, 2011 at 09:25
WOW…this sounds amazing! My hubby and I are new here, and it would be a great chance to check out some local wine, people, and foodies! Hook us up! Help us out!
August 26, 2011 at 10:15
This is one of the most awesome ideas Portlanders have come up with lately!! We certainly are trendsetters, even with something so simple as getting back to our roots! Growing up on a farm at the base of Mt. Hood gave me so many great memories as a child. I’d love to warm my heart with memories & take a tour of their farm:)
August 26, 2011 at 12:15
I’d like to surprise my boyfriend with a really fancy dinner for our anniversary, and this would be ideal!
August 26, 2011 at 13:16
As I fancy myself a bit of an urban farmer myself, I’m a huge fan of fresh produce straight from the garden! I would be absolutely ecstatic if I were blessed with the opportunity to attend! Thank you for this opportunity.
August 26, 2011 at 23:38
Love these kinds of farm events…
August 27, 2011 at 18:25
This is perfect: we love organic foods, I love to cook, we like the new feel of Willamette town area and Allium is our favorite!
We would be honored to attend! We will help with dishes!

This meal was amazing. I want to write all about it when the wine has worn off!!
August 30, 2011 at 15:44
My husband just moved here from England where he had never tasted fresh vegetables! He has since tasted some very delicious organic farm fresh veggies and meats and surprises himself on how much he enjoys eating new foods prepared in new ways (ie:not deep fried). It would be a very fun experience for us both to come out and enjoy this event.
