Dover, MA – The Trustees announced today a very special collaboration between Comfort Kitchen and Powisset Farm. The event, Comfort on the Farm: A Farm Dinner with Comfort Kitchen, takes place on Sunday, Jan. 19, at 4 p.m. at Powisset Farm in Dover.
The culinary team from Boston’s critically acclaimed restaurant, Comfort Kitchen, will share the Powisset Farm kitchen for one night only to bring diverse communities together and celebrate the power of storytelling through food. Featuring a menu showcasing Powisset-grown and locally sourced ingredients, this special event will offer an unforgettable farm-to-table dining experience. Comfort Kitchen’s congenial cuisine will nourish both body and soul, accompanied by a curated selection of craft cocktails and wines. Guests will gather at communal tables in Powisset Farm’s historic gray barn for a cozy, delicious evening during the long winter months.
Sharing his enthusiasm for the upcoming dinner, Comfort Kitchen’s Managing Partner Biplaw Rai said, “At Comfort Kitchen, we believe food is a universal language that tells stories of culture, history, and identity. Partnering with Powisset Farm allows us to celebrate these stories through locally grown ingredients, honoring the connection between land, community, and cuisine. We’re excited to share this experience and bring people together for a night of nourishment and connection.”
In just two years, Comfort Kitchen has taken Boston’s culinary scene by storm, bringing the spirits of collaboration, cross-cultural understanding, and community building to every aspect of their black-owned, immigrant-owned, and woman-owned restaurant.
