For 50 years Lacawac has been a resource for hundreds of thousands of students, collegiate faculty, local residents and visitors and vacationers to the region who come to Lacawac to enjoy its beauty and learn about the relationship between human beings and their environment. We hope that you will become part of the growing community who support our efforts and join us as a sponsor celebrating 50 years as a nonprofit! Lacawacs Farm to Plate Dinner en Blanc will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Sanctuary and we hope it to become our single largest fundraising event.

The event features cocktails and hors doevres on the first floor of the Historic Watres Lodge, live music, dinner under the stars and a silent auction. Dinner en Blanc will feature and highlight the culinary creations of Executive Chef Ben Sutter of the Settlers Hospitality Group, whos innovative menus are shaped by the seasons, farms, pastures and producers of our region.

The philosophy of Settlers Hospitality Groups has basically been the same for the last 30 years, which is to use the best and most local ingredients that can find in the region. Chef Sutters cooking is marked by high contrasts in flavors. Dishes incorporate and touch as many of the savory, sweet, bitter, spicy categories as possible without being overwhelming.

Chef Sutters menus boast many farm-to-table and sustainable dishes. He knows the food needs to speak for itself. Chef Ben is pushing the limits of farm-to-table cuisine by utilizing methods like sous-vide to produce spectacular and innovative dishes.
