CAPE MAY - Following a completely sold-out October event, the MICHELIN-Keyed Beach Plum Farm & Cottages in West Cape May is bringing back its highly anticipated "Fire & Harvest" dinner series. On Tuesday, November 17, 2026, the 62-acre working farm will host a one-night-only culinary collaboration featuring a major Philadelphia culinary heavyweight.

The Chefs and The Concept

For this iteration of the series, Chef Eli Collins of Philadelphia's James Beard-nominated a.kitchen+bar will step out of his Rittenhouse Square kitchen to join forces with Beach Plum Farm’s own Chef Gus Zimmerman.

The evening celebrates the late-fall harvest, open-fire cooking, and the direct, unfiltered connection between the farm and the dining table. The chefs are currently crafting a collaborative menu that merges Collins' mastery of French technique with the farm's November agricultural bounty. Diners can expect heavily fire-kissed dishes highlighting farm-grown vegetables, fresh herbs, and peak seasonal ingredients.

An Immersive Agricultural Venue

Dining at Beach Plum Farm offers a deeply unique coastal experience. Since 2008, the property has operated as a massive, regenerative working farm, growing more than 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables while raising pasture-raised chickens and pigs. Their dedication to sustainable agriculture and thoughtful hospitality recently earned their on-site luxury cottages a highly coveted MICHELIN Key.
