MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Tourism Bureau will host its inaugural Morris County Harvest Table: Oktoberfest on Wednesday, October 1 at 4:30 p.m. at the Center for Entrepreneurship and Culinary Science at County College of Morris.
The farm-to-table gathering will celebrate Morris County’s agricultural community while highlighting the connections among local farms, culinary education, hospitality and tourism.
An Oktoberfest-inspired menu prepared by County College of Morris culinary students will feature ingredients sourced from farms throughout Morris County. Guests will dine in the college’s culinary space and meet the people behind the county’s agricultural community while learning more about local farms, farm markets, orchards and other agritourism destinations.
For the culinary students, the evening will provide hands-on experience preparing and serving a menu featuring ingredients grown in their own community, while giving them an opportunity to showcase their skills in a professional setting.
The event is presented in partnership with County College of Morris and its culinary program at the Center for Entrepreneurship and Culinary Science. Additional support comes through grant funding from the New Jersey Highlands Council awarded to Randolph Township, helping advance programs that celebrate the Highlands region’s local agriculture, community assets and visitor experiences.
Tickets are $125 per person. Sponsorship opportunities are also available, ranging from $250 for eligible nonprofit organizations to $5,000 for Platinum sponsorships.
Proceeds from the evening will support the Morris County Tourism Bureau, which promotes the county’s historic, cultural, agricultural, recreational and culinary attractions and encourages residents and visitors to explore local destinations.
The Center for Entrepreneurship and Culinary Science, which opened in March, is located on the County College of Morris campus at 214 Center Grove Road, Parking Lot 6, in Randolph.
