Acre 3rd Annual Tomato Dinner with Pearl Family Farm

�Enjoy ripe, locally grown tomato dishes from Pearl Family Farm prepared by Chef Andrew Longres 🍅

A fourth-generation farmer, Michael Pearl was taught to farm and developed a lifelong interest in growing. In 1813, his ancestor Milton Paxton was born a slave in Kentucky. Milt was a farm laborer for the Paxton family. Around 1839, Milt was brought to Platte County, MO, to work on their plantation. It was Milt’s dream to someday own his farm. However, that dream was deferred. Milton, after being freed, changed his name from Paxton to Pearl. Milton had a son named David Pearl that was born a slave in 1852. Dave was eventually freed. In those days, it was common for slaves to make extra money by exceeding their quota of cutting and bundling hemp. David worked and saved enough to buy 87 acres in 1890.

Due to the highly seasonal nature of this event, menu will be released the week of the event.
