Every summer, Little Portion Farm hosts a farm-to-table dinner to support and celebrate our work. This intimate gathering is an opportunity for us to enjoy the fruits of our labor and experience a true farm-to-table experience within the halls of the historic Carrollton Hall. All are welcome to join us for this celebratory evening overlooking our small portion of creation.
Guests enjoy a three-course meal created by Dignity Plates, the Franciscan Center of Baltimore‘s culinary academy, using fresh produce from Little Portion Farm and sustainably-raised meat from Mary’s Land Farm. Cocktail hour, preceding the sit-down meal, is held outside and features hand-crafted cocktails from Baltimore Spirits Co. including fresh ingredients from the farm. Dinner includes a special wine pairing from Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard.
All proceeds from this event go to Little Portion Farm, to support our work caring for the Earth and growing food for people living with food insecurity. Since 2019, we have harvested and donated more than 130,000 pounds of fresh produce.

Summer TMIY 2026
2026-08-15 07:00 - 08:30 | St. John the Evangelist, Severna Park, 689 Ritchie Hwy., Severna Park, 21146, United States
“Lectio: The Case for Jesus,” a video study program from the Augustine Institute presented by Brant Pitre, Ph.D. Do you follow Jesus ‘on the way?’ Can we trust the Gospels? Do we really know who wrote them? Do the Gospels communicate truth, or fabricated fables? Who is Jesus? Join Dr. Pitre as he draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, as he gives an in-depth look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Christ’s divinity. Strengthen your faith so that you can not only stand firm and profess that Jesus truly is “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but also confidently respond to any skeptics you encounter. Watch the trailer on Formed: app.formed.org/app/videos/1343209. We will meet 7—8:30a.m. in Cottage 1 next to the playground on the nine Saturday mornings of: May 30, June 6, June 20,
June 27, July 11, July 18, Aug. 1, Aug. 8, and Aug. 15. Contact Ben Switzer for more information at switzers08@gmail.com.

Exploring Spiritualities of Aging
The path of holiness challenges us to be honest, vulnerable, and faithful. No matter the season of life we are in, we search for God — even in our doubts, fears, and disappointments. We desire to integrate our burdens and blessings into a holy prayer that brings us face-to-face with our loving and merciful God. Join us for a day of reflection as we explore the spiritualities of aging. Lunch is included. Guided by Sr. Sara Dwyer.

Seeking an Authentic Spirituality
Our stories reveal the beauty of light and darkness, loves and losses, laughter and tears. As we journey through all of this, we desire a life-giving spirituality that is both sustaining and contemplative, as well as attitudes, beliefs, and practices that will help us explore our true selves more consciously and deeply. During this six-night retreat, we will have generous amounts of time to reflect with guides who have narrated their own experiences, including Parker Palmer, Richard Rohr, Joan Chittister, Pope Francis, Walter Brueggemann, Joyce Rupp, Maya Angelou, and other spiritual writers. Join us to ponder, probe, practice, and pray in the quiet of your heart and with your God. Guided by Sr. Sara Dwyer.
