Join us on Saturdays, September 28 through October 26, 2024 for The Ploughman's Lunch Series with Troddenvale at Oakley Farm. Inspired by the harvest season, The Ploughman's Lunch is a culinary experience embracing the time-honored tradition of breaking bread together, sharing in the bounty of autumn under the hundred-year old oaks on the farm.
On Saturday, September 28, the 2 - 3 hour experience will consist of a tour of Troddenvale's apple orchard and cider production space, followed by lunch and cider tasting. The lunch will consist of a seated, multi-course pairing lunch with chef Hans Doxzen of Quarter Horse.

About Quarter Horse:
"Quarter Horse is a joining of German food traditions and Virginian ingredients. We are constantly endeavoring to connect with farmers, producers, and watermen all over the commonwealth of Virginia. We like to make friends!
Quarter Horse keeps a strong commitment to sourcing almost exclusively from within Virginia. We're proud to hold up the work of our friends we've met along our way; be it fine cider from the Allegheny highlands, robust pork from the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Arboreal Honey from the foothills of the Blueridge Mountains, or Oysters from the Tidewater. We like good peanuts too. All of these things and more inspire our menus.
Virginia is a big and beautiful state with so much to offer a cook. We invite you to explore with us!"
