Immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere as we celebrate the Spring, surrounded by the waking forest. Don't miss out on this unforgettable dining experience. Book your spot now!
Location Details
We will be dining under a covered area with blankets, fires, hand warmers, and heaters to help keep you warm and cozy! Do dress warmly for the outdoors, as our dinner will carry on rain or shine. We regularly host these forest dinners throughout the winter, and everyone has always stayed wonderfully warm!
In the case of extreme weather, you will be notified via email, and the dinner will be postponed.
The exact address of our forest location is easily accessed from the Sunshine Coast Highway, and will be sent when you purchase your ticket.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available - please let us know on the form when you purchase your ticket.
Please note, we cannot guarantee no cross-contamination as our kitchen does process all allergens. If you have unique allergy considerations, feel free to reach out via our contact page to see if we can accommodate you!
Please feel free to bring your own wine or drink of choice to accompany your evening. Tea and coffee will be served.
About the Chef
Alisha M'Lot, a seasoned farmer, cook, and baker, brings a wealth of experience and passion to your evening.
From cultivating her own farm to teaching others to grow and celebrate food, Alisha's journey is a testament to her dedication to filling our community's bellies. Her expertise extends to running kitchens, mastering the craft as a head baker, private caterer, and orchestrator of Harvest Heart.
Her favourite day at the farm is Staff Lunch Wednesdays, where they take turns whipping up whatever is left in the cull bin, making magic and devouring it together in the sunshine, sweaty, dirty, and delighted.
Ticket Cost
We strive to have our dinners as accessible as possible to folks. As farmers ourselves, we never want to host an event that we wouldn’t be financially able to attend. For this reason, we have a sliding scale option for tickets.
This means that while a ticket’s standard costs would be $125 / person, we ask that you pay more or less, depending on your financial ability. No matter what ticket price you choose, you will experience the same enchanting evening.
The idea here is equity over equality. To create a space where folks of all ages, abilities, and professions can gather together means respecting the reality that we do not all have the same financial situation, regardless of effort, passion, or love we bring to the world.
The average vegetable farm worker in BC earns $17.85 to $20.00 / hour (Government of Canada, 2025). A special night out of $75 each would feel stressful, but worth it as a treat.
Thank you for your commitment to sharing the table! ​​​
