PRAIRIE FRUITS FARM & CREAMERY
FARM TO TABLE DINNERS
Come dine with us on the farm and experience the pleasures of eating locally. Since 2008, we've been creating multi-course, slow food meals that showcase the best of Midwest agriculture. Many of the vegetables, herbs and fruits served are grown organically on our farm or from neighboring farms; we also use our farm's artisan, handcrafted cheeses and freshly baked bread.
Chef Garron Sanchez will craft a multi-course farm to table dinners every Wednesday, starting in May. Your evening will start with a welcome beverage, followed by an optional tour of the farm before we sit down to enjoy a chef-led three to five course meal.
​
Dinner tickets include non-alcoholic beverages, taxes and gratuity.
Wine, beer and cocktails are available for purchase at the farm, or you can pre-purchase a beverage add-on to your meal that includes a welcome cocktail and two full pours of paired wines with dinner.
​
While we understand that dietary preferences and restrictions can vary, please note that our Farm-to-Table dinners feature pre-fixed menus that our chef carefully curates to provide a unique and cohesive dining experience. As such, we are unable to offer substitutions for these events.
We look forward to welcoming you to the farm!

DETAILS
While we strive to create an elegant, peaceful and delicious evening for our guests, this is a working farm and most meals are served outdoors. Outdoor events can be subject to inclement weather, insects and the occasional scent of our lovely does and baby kids. If outside conditions become challenging, we will move the dinner into the dining room. We send out an email to the guests several days before the dinner with the final menu along with other details about the event.
Dress is very flexible--some folks go "farm fancy," while others dress casually. We do encourage guests to wear or bring appropriate clothing and hats for the weather of the day. Insect repellents are also a good idea, especially if they find you more attractive than the food.

Our policy regarding children and pricing: Given the limited number of seats for each dinner, we are not able to offer a reduced price on meals for children. Also, some of the dinners include wine or beer with the meal. We don't prohibit people from bringing their children; however, you will be charged the full price for their ticket. We encourage parents to truly consider if their child will enjoy the experience before choosing to purchase them a ticket.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Once you purchase tickets they are transferable (you can sell them to other folks), but NOT REFUNDABLE.
WAITING LIST POLICY: We may open up a wait list for a given dinner if warranted. In most cases, if we receive cancellations, we will re-post the seats on the website, notify folks through our email list, sell them at the Farmer’s Market, and/or post them on Facebook.
