The meals will be prepared and served by Sunday Dinner, an artisan custom caterer devoted to local, seasonal and sustainable food.

About Locavore Dinners
Launched in Chicago in 2010 by food scientist Jim Javenkoski, this monthly series of culinary events represents the convergence of locally-grown food and ol' school social learning. The dinners offer opportunities for consumers, chefs and farmers to gather and share delicious meals over casual yet informative conversations about the provenance and production of our food. Ideally, that dialog will reveal to each participant how we can collectively strengthen our local food system to provide economic, environmental, safety, wellness and justice benefits for all of us. The enduring goal of the Locavore Dinners is to enhance our food literacy and cultivate our "local food wisdom", one meal at a time.

    Our dinner on Monday the 15th will feature special guests Beth and Brent Eccles, who own and operate Green Acres Farm, a 3rd-generation grower of specialty greens and heirloom vegetables, located in North Judson, IN. Our dinner on Tuesday the 16th will be shared with Harry and Gwen Carr, who own and operate Mint Creek Farm, where they raise grass-fed lambs, goats, cows and pigs on a 220-acre farm in Stelle, IL. These feasts with farmers promise to be equally informative and delicious!
