Gathered Table

Gathered Table is a seasonal series of communal meals hosted by Blackwood Educational Land Institute, designed to bring people together around food that reflects the rhythms of the land, the wisdom of regenerative agriculture, and the power of shared experience.

Each event features a thoughtfully prepared, farm-forward menu sourced directly from Blackwood’s Hempstead farm and our growing network of local producers. The meal is served family-style, inviting guests to slow down, share stories, and explore the deeper connection between nourishment, place, and community.

What to Expect:• A seasonal, chef-crafted meal featuring Blackwood-grown ingredients• A beautiful and intentional table setting in a farm, garden, or urban environment• Guided conversations and reflections on food, ecology, and culture• A space where strangers become neighbors, and meals become memories

Why It Matters:Gathered Table is more than a dinner — it’s a living expression of Blackwood’s mission. It’s where education meets hospitality, where regenerative food systems are experienced through taste, and where guests leave not just fed, but connected.
