HARVEST DINNER

About this Event

Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with Illinois’ most delicious locally grown, raised, and produced food and drinks! Our Harvest Dinner at Lazy Daisy Diner & Cafe features a five course dinner from Chef Joel Burden. While our menu isn't officially finalized, you can expect to see ingredients from local producers like mushrooms, microgreens, kale, chevré, bread, pork, grits, tofu, squash, and more. Chef Joel has really outdone himself with this menu and we can't wait to share more on his dishes. He's even made sure we have alternatives for those with dietary restrictions. You can find out more about that at registration. 

In addition to the delicious locally grown and raised food, you will be able purchase local beer, wine, spirits, and kombucha. Every bite and sip supports The Land Connection, helping us to build a more robust and resilient local food and farm system, from soil to supper plate.

Cost & Access

Tickets are $125/person and you can add-on a cocktail or wine pairing for $20.
