Event
Saturday, September 24th--An Evening with Lula Cafe
2:30pm: Everyone will meet at the lovely Greenhouse Bed and Breakfast -- just down the road from Mint Creek Farm. We'll gather on the trolley at 3pm sharp* and will head to Mint Creek Farm for a first-hand, interactive tour of our farm, where you'll get out amongst the animals and learn all the ins and outs of the place from head farmer Harry Carr. We recommend wearing shoes you don't mind getting dirty.
*Any guests who arrive after 3pm will be shuttled from the Greenhouse Bed and Breakfast to meet up with the tour.
5pm(ish): The trolley will return guests to the Greenhouse Bed and Breakfast where we'll enjoy a superb meal prepared by Chef de Cuisine Sarah Rinkavage of Lula Cafe. Her meal will feature various Mint Creek meats, as well as available produce from local farms including Three Plaid Farmers & Chicago Patchwork Farms. The lovely and local Donni Mori (solo vocalist/guitar act) will liven things up with her music as we dine and converse.
