Farms & Orchards

Spend an evening at Locavore Farm, a true farm-to-table experience that brings people together at their 100-ft. handcrafted table to enjoy the bounty of Kankakee County’s local homegrown goodness.

We’re a 40-acre family farm growing food alongside nearby farmers to support the local food system through open-air farm events and farm dinners. Guests connect with locally-grown food and the appeal of rural-living, raising a glass to the slow life.

At Dine on the Land events, visitors purchase a share of the harvest and experience it through a multi-course feast served at a 100-foot farm table. The table is set out in the field, near the gardens, or in the 80-foot barn. Locavore Farm collaborates with chefs and other family farms within a 25-mile radius. Each four-hour Dine on the Land event features signature wines, cocktails and craft beers, along with live music, a farm tour, bonfires for roasting marshmallows, and the time and space to connect with locally-grown food and the appeal of rural-living.
