Join us for a casual farm to table dining experience and celebration of our farm’s seasonal local flavors. Prepared for you to enjoy in the very place it was grown. You’ll dine on a showcase of deep, earthy, rich, and sweet flavors expertly prepared to savor while listening to live music! You won't want to miss this truly one-of-a-kind dinner experience.  

Our themed, signature meals will feature fresh ingredients from our farm, as well as locally sourced ingredients and meats from hand-selected farmers who care for local flavor as deeply as we do. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and talk with those contributing to the meal for learning about the vital role small local farms play in building a local food system, and the ways local chefs, farmers and eaters are working together to further the cause.

DRESS ATTIRE

Our farm dinner is hosted on a working farm, so we suggest that you dress casually. Please dress according to the weather and wear proper footwear; we suggest flat shoes and not heels. The dinner could be set up a short distance from our barn so please wear appropriate shoes for walking on natural terrain. Come prepared for open-air dining and the unpredictable Illinois weather. Bring a hat or sunglasses with you if needed as dinner may include a beautiful sunset.

 

SEATING

Seating is open and typically at round tables, but we've also hosted our dinners at long, family-style dinner tables. If you reserve 6 tickets, we will reserve the entire table for your group. No more than 8 people will be allowed to sit at one table.

 

PARKING

Please park along the main driveway. A parking sign will be posted.

 

VENUE & INCLEMENT WEATHER

This event will proceed rain or shine. The majority of our dinner events are held in our barn. Occasionally, we host our dinner events outside if ideal weather conditions are in the forecast.
