A Legacy of Beautiful Gatherings with Croft Place
This year’s Autumn Supper follows a series of acclaimed events that have quickly established Croft Place as one of Long Island’s most thoughtful and creative event curators.
The Summer 2025 Supper Series—Croft Place’s debut season—launched at The Conklin Barn with Chef Kelly McConnell at the helm. Over the course of four sold-out evenings, guests enjoyed seasonal menus that celebrated the rhythm of summer, culminating in a dinner on the Autumn Equinox, marking the official turn of the seasons.
Beyond the supper club, Croft Place hosted two summer Marketplaces, celebrating local artisans and all things beautiful. These markets featured handcrafted home goods, curated vintage housewares, original artwork from Brooklyn-based Long Island natives, and locally grown flowers, all set within the rustic charm of The Conklin Barn.
Each event reflected the Croft Place ethos—care, craftsmanship, and connection—and built an ever-growing community of guests who return time and again for the experience of something rare and real.
