For more than 40 years, John and Sukey Jamison of Unity have raised lambs destined for fine dining tables across the country.

They’ve also hosted an annual dinner fundraiser for the Latrobe Art Center — a longstanding and eagerly anticipated tradition, according to executive director Michael Tusay.

Guests gathered for this year’s event on July 16 in a pavilion overlooking Jamison Farm’s 212 rolling green acres.

During pre-dinner mingling, they were able to peruse a table of farm memorabilia, including a copy of the Jamisons’ book, “Coyotes in the Pasture and Wolves at the Door,” signed by renowned French chef Jacques Pepin, and a framed menu also hand-lettered and decorated by Pepin.

Chef Steven Hill, formerly of the Westmoreland Country Club and now with Chartiers Country Club, tended the grill as tantalizing aromas wafted through the air.

Guests brought their own wine selections to accompany the meal.

Appetizers included cheeses, hummus and merguez, a spicy lamb sausage.

Dinner began with asparagus soup, mixed greens salad and garden beets with goat cheese. The main course was grilled leg of lamb with spinach and onion sauce, rosemary new potatoes and roasted cherry tomatoes.

If diners weren’t thoroughly sated by then, they indulged in chocolate delight with mint creme.

Seen at the farm-to-table dinner: Latrobe Art Center assistant director Joe Bellack, Chuck and Nancy Anderson, Dennis and Kathy Rafferty, Bruce and Heather Newell, Laura Manion, Tom Medvitz, Erin Codey, Meg Ross and Tom Grace, Marie Zanotti, Sandra Svilar, Rick Kunkle, Nancy Mauser, Tom and Gina Hockycko and Carol Hill.
