ArtisTree Gardens (stylized “ArtisTREE”) is teaming up with Keel Farms for a sustainable meal to celebrate the deliciousness of local farming.

ArtisTree, founded by musician, beekeeper and gardener-farmer Nick Ewing, curates public and private immersive experiences centered around sustainability and education, with a focus on locally-grown food, wellness and creativity. Its “gardinners” showcase ArtisTree’s zero-waste, regenerative practices within its network of local farmers and at its gardens in Temple Terrace.

Its next “gardinner” includes pairings with fruity Keel Farms wines at the farm’s Osprey View venue on Lake Thonotosassa.

The prix fixe menu includes Peruvian-inspired ceviche made from Florida snapper and grouper and a garden cassoulet with options of lamb and rabbit or pork and chicken. There are also vegan and vegetarian options, along with several fruit and veggie-centric menu items.

Tickets are $150-$175 for the “Osprey View Gardinner,” happening Thursday, Dec. 11 in Thonotosassa.
