Summer Dinners: gather at 6:00 pm on the lawn, dinner is served at 7:00 pm.

September and October dinners: gather at 5:30 pm on the lawn, dinner is served at 6:30 pm. 

The farm is on South Creek Road/Route 100 in Chadds Ford, just north of the Delaware-Pennsylvania state line. If you’re traveling north on South Creek Road, prior to reaching 4311 South Creek Road (if you get to our farm stand you went a little too far), turn left onto Cossart Road. then make your first right into the farm’s driveway.  If you’re traveling south on South Creek Road, travel 100 yards past the farm stand and turn right onto Cossart Road. Then make the first right into the farm’s driveway. Signs will direct you to the grassy area near the barn.

The interior of the barn is a great space, rain or shine. Keep in mind, if it is raining, the grounds from the car to the barn will be muddy. Bring an umbrella to get from the parking area to the barn. The barn is not climate controlled, so please dress appropriately to the outside temperature (there are fans but no air conditioning or heat).

The dress code is casual. Please feel free to wear jeans. Casual footwear is strongly encouraged: boots, flats, or shoes that allow you to comfortably navigate the historic barn and the surrounding farm.

Guests can access the barn and surrounding paths without navigating steps. There is an incline to get into the barn. The restrooms, which are housed in a lovely trailer, near the barn require walking up two steps.  If you have mobility concerns, please contact tickets@siwvegetables.com for more information.

Yes. We will have a delicious vegetable-forward dinner from the farm-served family style. Each Field to Fork dinner menu showcases vegetables and fruits at their peak ripeness directly from the farm as well as locally sourced ingredients. In general seating is family style tables of 10. If you’re a smaller group don’t worry we’ll seat you with what are soon to become new friends! We love connecting friends 

Chefs can be seen walking the fields or at the farm stand the week before their dinner, to see what is fresh and inspiring. The magic of these dinners is the “pop-up” nature of creating a restaurant quality meal on a farm using the most seasonal ingredients. Therefore we don’t often have a menu until the week before each dinner. If you are someone who loves food, is adventurous and is willing to be surprised, this is the place for you! If you have food allergies, distinct food preference, or are vegetarian or vegan, please contact us no later than 7 days in advance of the dinner to advise so we can see ‘if’ special accommodations can be made. Chefs come to the farm with what they are preparing and there is no walk-in cooler to “pull something else” last minute. Cross contamination is also a concern if there’s anyone with a food allergy. We apologize but night of requests cannot be honored.

Field to Fork dinners are BYOB. We provide ice coolers, glassware and water. Please feel free to bring a special bottle of wine or your favorite beverage of choice, alcoholic or non-alcoholic to enjoy!

Gratuities are at your discretion but not required. Whatever amount you see fit is appreciated. Many of your servers are the same folks who may have picked your vegetables or flowers, or work at the farm stand. Feel free to ask them about their work here at SIW!

While we are unable to provide refunds, we will make every attempt to reschedule you to another dinner with at least 5 days prior notice. 

Please note in 2024 there is a $20 per ticket administration fee for all dinner date changes/modifications. We cannot guarantee availability however you will only be charged if the change is made. 

There are no transfer fees and we encourage you to share the SIW love with a neighbor, co-worker, family member, or friend if you cannot attend a dinner.

No paper tickets are mailed. You will get an email confirmation.

There is a horse barn and horses on the property however we ask you and your guests to refrain from walking around that area. We understand it can be inviting to do so however insurance regulations prevent guest access due to the potential for injury. We appreciate your compliance. 

Sections of the massive barn date back to the 1660s. Parts of the main house date back to 1816. Over time it’s gone by many names, including Pyle Farm and Hill Girt Farm. There are currently multiple conservation easements on the 700-acre farm dating back to the first one placed on the flood plain in 1969, permanently preserving its natural beauty and contributing to local sustainable agriculture. HG grows approximately 50 acres of vegetables of more than 50 different types and hundreds of varieties. SIW Vegetables was founded in 1986.

Fun Fact: Director M. Night Shyamalan filmed his 2004 movie “The Village” on the farm.

The farm has been owned by the Haskell family since 1910 when it was purchased by Harry G. Haskell, a du Pont executive. Harry’s son, Hal Haskell, a former Delaware congressman (1957-1959) and mayor of Wilmington (1969-1973), placed the farm on a conservation easement with the Brandywine Conservancy in 1969. The current owner, H.G. Haskell III, Harry Haskell’s grandson, continues his family's legacy by operating SIW Vegetables, which supplies more than fifty types of fruits and vegetables to area residents, restaurants, and visitors to the Brandywine Valley.
