About this event

Join Green City Market for an exclusive evening in the fields of Mick Klüg Farms with a delicious four-course meal prepared by top Chicago chefs Lee Wolen of Boka, Joe Frillman and Leigh Omilinsky of Daisies, and John Shields of Smyth and The Loyalist in partnership with Ritual Zero Proof.

This special event celebrates the bounty of the Midwest's summer harvest with a farm-to-table meal and tour of an original GCM vendor in St. Joseph, Michigan. Proceeds from this event go to support Green City Market's nonprofit mission to support local farmers, educate our community, and expand food access around Chicago.

Upon arrival, guests will be greeted with a cocktail hour including passed appetizers and an optional farm tour before sitting down for a meal amongst the picturesque orchards.

The dinner will feature three courses, including starters, entrées, and desserts, with products sourced directly from Mick Klüg Farms and other Green City Market vendors. Beverages, including beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic cocktails are included, courtesy of presenting sponsor Ritual Zero Proof as well as Middle Brow, Saugatuck Brewing Company, and Appel’s Cordials.

Transportation will be provided between Chicago and St. Joseph on event day; bus seats are limited and available as an add-on to your ticket purchase.

For parties interested in making Peak Season a weekend trip, ten rooms will be available for guests at The Boulevard Inn in St. Joseph. Guests can book directly with the hotel for a minimum two-night stay requirement.
