Farm Dinners
Wednesdays, July 17, August 14, and September 11, 2013
5 – 8 p.m.
$200 per person
Adventurous diners will not want to miss out on the fourth season of Farm Dinners at the Chicago Botanic Garden, celebrating the connection between midwestern farmland and the locally grown food we love to eat.
Join farmers, food artisans, and makers of wine, beer, and spirits for a one-of-a-kind meal made with fresh, seasonal ingredients by a local chef, and served family-style in a casual outdoor setting.
Farm dinners take place in the beautiful Regenstein Fruit & Vegetable Garden, where guests will not only revel in the surroundings and food, but also learn how the Garden is growing organic. Hear firsthand from Green Youth Farm students about how produce is planted, cultivated, and harvested! The Regenstein Fruit & Vegetable Garden closes at 6 p.m. daily and at 4 p.m. on Farm Dinner dates.
Enjoy spectacular meals prepared with locally grown ingredients by award winning chef Cleetus Friedman of Fountainhead restaurant. The July Farm Dinner will feature the Garden’s Green Youth Farm, River Valley Ranch & Kitchens, Death’s Door Spirits, Oskar Blues beer and Illinois Sparkling Co. & August Hill Winery. Jeanne Pinsof Nolan, founder of The Organic Gardener, Ltd., will also be on hand to talk about and sign her just released book From the Ground Up.
Tickets available online or at the Visitor Center Information Desk. Admission is $200 per person. Ticket price includes cocktails and hors d'oevres, a tour, a multi-course meal with drinks, parking, and good company.
Proceeds from the dinner support the Garden’s Green Youth Farm program, offering students the opportunity to learn all aspects of organic farming.
