Frequently Asked Questions


Where is the Dinner?   Just East of Bahama, NC, Elodie Farms is about 1/2 hour drive North of downtown Durham.  Click here for a map.

Is part of the cost deductible as a charitable contribution? Of the $150 cost per person, 25% (or $37.50) may be considered a deductible contribution but you should consult your tax advisor to be certain this applies to your specific situation.

Is wine included with the cost of the event? 
Easy one - YES :)

What time will the Farm open?  Guests may arrive beginning at 4p.

Will there be a Farm Tour?  Due to the size of the event it will not be possible to provide guided dairy tours, however you can arrange a visit in the future.

I placed my order, am I guaranteed seats?  Since there is a limited amount of space for the Dinner, some orders above the maximum may be received before the order form is closed.  Therefore, until you receive a "Shipment notice" from Google checkout which says "Availability confirmed - your card will be charged" you should not assume that your order can be filled.  If your order can not be filled your card will not be charged.

Will I / When will I receive my "ticket"?  Your Google checkout order "Shipment notice" email will serve as your proof of reserved seats - please print the portion showing your order number and quantity of seats and bring it with you.

We are meeting friends - will be seated together?  For this Special Event it will be open seating for maximum flexibility for groups rather than specific reserved tables or seats.

What if I placed my order but realized I can't attend?  If your order has not been processed, you can cancel it via Google checkout.  If you have received a "Shipment notice" saying your card will be charged then we regret that there is no way to refund the cost of this charity fundraiser.  You are welcome, however, to allow someone else to use your seats by simply forwarding them the shipment confirmation email you received.

Will we be eating outside?  The Dinner will be served under tents on the lawn of the farmhouse.

What is appropriate attire?  Dressy casual, but remember to wear appropriate shoes for the grass lawn and if you want to walk around to see the goats, donkey, horse, chickens and dairy.

What if I have other questions?  Your order confirmation from Google checkout provides a method to send feedback - we'll do our best to reply to any questions.
