Where else can you go to a working farm, be able to see the animals, walk a hydroponic planting area, taste cocktails from talented bartenders/mixologists, sit down to a dinner from well-known chefs working together to fill your table, listen to great music, dance between courses and generally have a blast?
No place else but the popular Swank Farms dinners, set in the lush, productive acres owned by Jodi and Darrin Swank, who provide produce to area restaurants and green markets every year. The coming season’s dinner have just been announced and are listed here. These sell out, and when you see the line up here (Master Chefs from New Orleans!, Mambo Italiano!, Throwback to the ‘70s!), you’ll realize why these will sell out, too.
