Please join us for a
multi-course menu designed by
Chef Tim Kuck, featuring fruits, vegetables, meats and other specialty foods sourced from on-site organic farms and other farms located within 50 miles of Prairie Crossing. Each course will be served family-style and paired with a selected beer from
Mickey Finn's Brewery(Libertyville, IL). Some of the hand-crafted brews will be used as ingredients in the meal, enabling our guests to enjoy "cuisine a la (loca-)biere". I will be joined by Mickey Finn's brewer Greg Browne and we'll share insights and stories about the provenance of the ingredients and the inspirations for the food-beer pairings, while advocating the benefits of consumer participation in our local food system. Prairie Crossing is on the verge of becoming a
peri-urban food hub for Chicago, so don't miss an engaging, edible opportunity to learn more about this unique Conservation Community and its
commitment to sustainable local food systems.
