The Turner Farm Barn Suppers are managed by The Nebo Lodge. Erin French, founder of [the] Lost Kitchen Restaurant, recommends the Turner Barn experience on her website:

It’s the journey to get there that is three-quarters the fun . . . Make sure to keep an extra eye out for [the Nebo Lodge’s] special event barn dinner events at Turner Farm.

Because the 2020 season has been cancelled, the lucky winner will reserve a dinner for two for an available date in 2021.

The winner of this raffle will treasure their memories of the experience,” shared Valarie Johnson, who has organized the raffle for the past six years. “Where else can a couple have such a unique, enjoyable evening out including a five-course meal, local brew and wine, all on a Maine island for a $30 luck-of-the-draw? Every year I receive great compliments so this is a must have event,” she continued.
