Chili Cook-Off at Allandale Farm

Sunday, October 13, 2019 from 12-3pm at Allandale Farm: 259 Allandale Road, Brookline, MA 02467

Allandale Farm - Greater Boston’s own beautiful farm in the city - is hosting a Chili Cook-Off to benefit The New Garden Society. Up to 15 chefs sign up ahead of time to bring a batch of their homemade chili to the farm to be judged by the public. Chefs receive $20 Farm Bucks just for participating, and a grand prize of $100 should their chili reign supreme. Attendees pay $10 for the honor of judging chili, with all proceeds benefiting TNGS. All in all, a lot of fun to be had for a great cause.

Sign up here by Wednesday, October 2 to be a chef in the competition! At the event, judges simply need to bring $10-dollar admission and a good appetite! We hope you can join in the fun.

More event details are on Allandale Farm’s website and Facebook.
