Instead of simply grabbing a [pint of Guinness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-guinness) at any old bar, this event provides a more indulgent way to honor the annual Irish holiday. The St. Patty’s Day Pop-Up Farm to Table Dinner is part of a collaboration between Kim Ready and local health food delivery company Chefmade. The event consists of a four-course dinner and a selection of hand-crafted cocktails, all of which are prepared with an Irish twist. The event is designed to celebrate [farm to table food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saratoga-supper-club) by showing that quality ingredients and fresh cooking can lead to a superior dining experience. In addition, a portion of the proceeds also goes to support Culinary Care, which is an organization that delivers free meals to cancer patients.
