New Britain's Urban Oaks Organic Farm is partnering with Rizzuto's Wood-Fired Kitchen and Bar to host a Harvest Supper on August 31. The evening is being organized by resto owner Bill Rizzuto, who envisions a dinner under the stars surrounded by vibrant fruits and vegetables, tents and live music. Space is limited, and tickets are currently available here for $85.
