JOIN US FOR BANNERMAN ISLAND’S ANNUAL FARM TO TABLE DINNER WITH LIVE MUSIC
The Bannerman Castle Trust (BCT) and Chef Noah Sheetz (founder of the Chefs Consortium) return to Bannerman Island for the highly anticipated Farm to Table Dinner on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Chef Sheetz and five of his colleagues return to create a delectable five-course meal which serves as a fundraiser for Bannerman Island restoration projects.
