Maine’s First Ship is celebrating the end of a very busy summer with a Full Moon Dinner on Sunday, Aug. 26 at the Bath Freight Shed. This farm-to-table favorite began in the summer of 2013 as a community event. This year’s Dinner features Chef Jenn Legnini of Turtle Rock Farm in Brunswick, and music by Ben Betts from Boothbay Harbor.

Legnini founded the café at the Midcoast Winter Farmers Market in Topsham. She is not only a caterer but an award-winning “craft canner.” Turtle Rock Farm makes seasonal preserves from Maine fruits and vegetables.

For the MFS event, Legnini’s menu features duck from Dresden’s Dragonfly Cove Farm. It will also feature locally sourced produce, cheese, and other delicacies from farmers and vendors at the Bath Farmer’s Market and the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust Farmers’ Market at Crystal Spring Farm.

Musician Ben Betts brings a musical style that he describes as influenced by his upbringing on the water in Florida and Maine – calypso, reggae, ska – and shaped by classics, jam bands, rhythm, and blues. He plays double steel pans as well as guitar.

“We’re excited to bring back Full Moon Dinners,” says MFS Board member and dinner organizer Lori Benson. “They were very popular and there was great demand to revive this tradition,” she said. ”It’s a great occasion that brings together community members to enjoy finely crafted local food from local farms.” The event is a fund-raiser for Maine’s First Ship, which is recreating the wooden ship Virginia, originally built in 1607 at the mouth of the Kennebec River in what is now Phippsburg.

Space at the 5:30 p.m. Dinner, which will be held at the Bath Freight Shed, 27 Commercial Street, is limited to 60 guests. Tickets are $50, and available from the MFS office, 443-4242, or mfs1@myfairpoint.net.
