Sunday Afternoon at a Veteran’s Farm: Dames, their families and friends are invited to spend an afternoon at Fields 4 Valor, a small farm in Brandywine, Maryland, run by veteran and trained chef/butcher/cheesemaker Peter Scott, a graduate of a program associated with Rebecca Clerget, Dog Tag Bakery, and Georgetown University.
