The Rivers to Host a Farm to Table Event featuring a 4-Course, Wine-Paired Dinner Provided Entirely by Local Farms and VendorsWhen: August 17th, 2019 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Where: Wenzel Family Plaza
The Rivers is excited to bring a farm to table experience to Marshfield. By utilizing the numerous farmers and vendors in the area, Chef Doug has carefully crafted a menu that is both delicious and local. The Rivers mission is to promote a true Taste of Marshfield with more than just our food, but by supporting the community they call home.Chef Doug shares, “we are blessed to be in an area that provides all the ingredients to create a full culinary experience.”
This event is all about home-grown comfort and goodness. In addition to partnering with local farmers and vendors, The Rivers supports our community in other ways as well and this event is a good example of their philanthropic efforts at work. Proceeds from this event will benefit two community-driven organizations: the Marshfield FFA and Wenzel Family Plaza.

The Rivers culinary team, led by Chef Doug Weerts, will bring to life through the use of fresh ingredients grown and raised locally, the flavor of Marshfield. Let’s gather together to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and love our farmers, vendors, and musicians pour into their livelihoods every day!
