Farm-to-Table dinner at North Bend State Park

By Candace Nelson - 4:25 PM

West Virginia State Parks hosted a series of farm-to-table dinners at select parks throughout the state this summer. My friend Beth and I decided to venture to North Bend State Park to enjoy their feast. BUT FIRST, we did also check out the Silver Run Tunnel, which just said to be haunted. We made it after a short hike and were fortunate to see no ghost ladies in white dresses. Then, we made it to the dinner, which featured music and drink tickets for local beer and wine plus vendors selling some of their wares. The menu at the recent North Bend State Park included freshly baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter Then, we had squash soup: A creamy, velvety soup made from freshly harvested squash, slow-cooked with a blend of warm spices and topped with a side of bread. Next was Fresh Wedge Salad: Crisp wedges of iceberg lettuce, garnished with tomatoes, crumbled bacon, tangy blue cheese, and an Italian vinaigrette Main Courses included:

Herb Roasted Chicken: Tender chicken, marinated in a blend of fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage

Honey Garlic Steak Bites: Chunks of beef, seared and glazed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce

Roasted Vegetable Medley: A vibrant mix of seasonal vegetables, including carrots, zucchini, and Brussels sprouts roasted with olive oil and herbs

Corn on the Cob: Sweet, roasted corn served with butter

Hasselback Potatoes: Thinly sliced potatoes roasted with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs, and topped with sour cream Desserts:

Mini Sweet Potato Casserole: Sweet potato casserole, baked with a buttery brown sugar topping and mini marshmallows

Apple Dump Cake: A rustic, easy dessert made from locally sourced apples, cinnamon, and a buttery, crumbly topping, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect balance of sweet and tart. have you visited one of these farm-to-table state park dinners this year?
