RiverView Family Farm, located on the banks of Fort Loudoun Lake, is hosting a “Farm to Table experience” to benefit Loudon County Habitat for Humanity.

“The table is set; the lights are strung; and excitement is building,” said Rachel Renden, Loudon County Habitat for Humanity director of development.

“This is the sixth year we are hosting the event,” she said. “RiverView Family Farm has been incredible to us and has allowed us to use their facilities each year for the event.”

The event, which includes a gourmet farm-to-table dinner crafted by Chef Robert Allen of Bluestem Hollow, live music, open bar and curated silent auction, will take place Thursday, Oct. 16, at RiverView Family Farm, 12130 Prater Lane, Knoxville. Cocktail hour starts at 5 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6 p.m.

“Chef Robert Allen of Bluestem Hollow crafts

an incredible farm to table meal for the night, all ingredients are sourced from local suppliers,” Renden said.

However, “This is more than a night out,” she said. “It’s a night that helps build homes and hope right in Loudon County.

“Every ticket purchased supports Loudon County Habitat for Humanity and the families we serve.”

Cost is $125 per person; $250 for two people; $1,000, “supporter” sponsorship; $2,500, “builder” sponsorship; $5,000, “champion” sponsorship; $7,500, “host” sponsorship; and $10,000, “presenting” sponsorship.

She noted, however, seating is limited.

“So, reserve your spot now and be part of this celebration,” Renden added. Visit farmtofamiliesloco.org.
