Caprae at Prairie Fruits Farm
The definition of farm to table
Experience the flavors of our prairie home with dining at Caprae, where each meal connects you to our farm and the rich bounty of our region. The very definition of "farm-to-table," our restaurant offers a deep celebration of local ingredients, harnessing the freshest produce, meats, and dairy from our own fields and our neighbor's farms.
