Farm Dinner fundraiser Series
Grown and prepared by us - for you - in celebration of food, community, and hospitality.
Each dinner will showcase a different organization that our farmers are involved in and passionate about. We look forward to the opportunity to talk with you all about our interests that reach beyond, but are connected to, growing food.

This first dinner will be a shameless kick-off to the series raising money for our own backfield expansion. In addition to the one acre that we are currently producing vegetables on, we have 5 additional acres in our “backfield". It is such a privilege to be responsible for land so close to Lake Michigan, yet stewardship that aligns with our environmental ethics requires human labor and the appropriate tools that are the least disruptive to the land and its inhabitant. We plan to use these acres to expand our food production and land stewardship efforts, while creating meaningful and dignified jobs for local folks. Funds will be allocated towards tree saplings, fencing, irrigati0n, and hopefully one day, a golf cart.
