Donor Circles’ member priority registration for Farm to Table Dinners begins at 9am on Thursday, May 8. Member registration begins at 9 am on Thursday, May 15. If you are not an ACES member, we hope you will join or renew your membership today. 

The maximum number of tickets is six (6). Due to limited capacity, members are only allowed to purchase tickets to ONE (1) Farm to Table Dinner. Members are asked to attend only ONE (1) dinner per summer so that more members have the opportunity to also experience these special evenings. Our Farm to Table dinners showcase the best of what is in season at the ranch and in our region. We curate the menu accordingly. Our facilities do not have the capacity to offer an array of options and therefore cannot accommodate all dietary restrictions. We can accommodate gluten and vegetarian dietary restrictions with advance notice. 

Thank you to our generous beverage sponsors:
