Locavore Farm is a family-run farm just south of Chicago that grows organic vegetables and raises pigs, chickens, sheep, and goats.
Throughout the warm months, the farm offers a unique outdoor dining experience known as Dine On The Land which allows guests to eat the freshest farm-to-table meal in the state.
There is a theme for each meal and diners sit at a 107-foot-long handcrafted table that is situated amongst the beautiful fields and gardens on the farm.
Guests are invited to arrive around 5 p.m. the night of the dinners and enjoy a drink such as beer, wine, or lemonade. Dinner begins at 6 p.m. with the first course. All meals are accompanied by live music, dancing, a bonfire, and roasted marshmallows.
A tour of the farm is also included in the cost of your meal. The entire experience costs $125 per person. Those 12 years of age and under may enjoy the experience for $62.50. A vegetarian option can be arranged.
If you've ever wanted to completely get away from it all and experience a community meal that is like something from the past, this is the place to do it.
