Ben Walmer with a crop of brussels sprouts on his head

Free, advanced registration required

Originally from Gettysburg, architect and chef Ben Walmer comes from a family of five generations of fruit growers. It is from this agrarian background that he traces his connections to food and design and the motivation to launch Highlands Dinner Club (HDC) in New York City in 2009. Walmer currently lives in central New Jersey and is founding architect and creative director of the NJ/NYC-based interdisciplinary design practice Broadloom, whose diverse capabilities include design strategy, hospitality design, regenerative food systems design, and agricultural master planning. HDC is a mobile social and culinary laboratory produced by Broadloom and collaboratively executed by a rotating cast of chefs, farmers, designers, and artists. Wielding spontaneous spirit and exceptional local ingredients, HDC has created farm-to-table experiences across three continents and seen time and again the connections and joy that come when people gather at the table to share a meal.
