Kneehigh Farm & Kitchen Garden Textiles

Knee High Farm is a women-owned and operated farm in eastern Pennsylvania focused on employing and empowering women in agriculture while creating a stronger, more resilient local community through food. Here, Farmer Emma and her crew tend over 100 varieties of vegetables, fruits and herbs using regenerative organic practices that protect the soil and surrounding ecosystem. Kitchen Garden Textiles is another women-centric endeavor, founded by Heidi Barr. They produce elegant, heirloom-quality napkins, produce bags and aprons, all made with 100% organic linen locally crafted in Pennsylvania. Emma and Heidi’s Pa. Flax Project aims to revitalize the flax for linen industry that originated in Pennsylvania in 1691. This dinner will feature tablecloths and napkins from our collaboration with Kitchen Garden Textiles. We are proud to feature these custom textiles at a number of our dinners this year. Guest chef Ari Miller wears Kitchen Garden Textiles aprons in yet another example of what he calls “relationship cuisine” — his approach to creating unconventional dishes sourced from local producers with whom Chef Ari has formed close relationships. We are excited to see this very special farmer / maker / chef relationship in action.
