“Bet for the Farm”
An Heirloom Evening of Spirits, Provisions & Luck

We're raising the stakes this year — playing our best hands and doubling down on fresh food donations to schools, foodbanks, and hunger relief centers across the region. Join us for an evening of fine food, spirited cocktails, and a little luck, all in support of the land.

The Experience

An Evening on the Farm

Dinner & Cocktails

An artfully prepared multi-course dinner paired with specialty cocktails, served on Crown Point's own working farm — a countryside setting unlike any ballroom in the region.

Live & Silent Auction

Premier auction items, both live and silent, with all proceeds directly supporting Crown Point's mission — this is the evening's biggest fundraising driver.

What “Doubling Down” Actually Means

This year's theme isn't just wordplay — Taste of Earth's proceeds directly fund fresh food donations to schools, foodbanks, and hunger relief centers, building on work Crown Point already does every season.

This Year's Fund-a-Cause: The Fourth Season

This year's Fund-a-Cause is The Fourth Season at Crown Point — a 42-foot geodesic growing dome that gives the farm a true fourth growing season through Ohio's winter months, keeping fresh food flowing to schools, CSA members, and hunger-relief partners even when the fields would otherwise go dark.
