Texas French Bread hosts a fall dinner in honor of Boggy Creek Farm. When Murph and Ben Wilcott decided to add a farm-to-table bistro to the French bakery founded by their mom, their primary source of fresh, organic produce was Boggy Creek. The Wilcotts still shop there every week, and they are hosting this dinner to recognize the contribution farmers Larry Butler and Carol Ann Sayle have made to the bistro’s success. Reservations necessary. Sunday, Nov. 1, 6:30pm.
