Farm Dinner Series 2026

The team at Churchview is proud to kick off our fourteenth season with the 2026 Sunday Dinner Series, featuring a variety of concepts from a lineup of new and returning restaurants and chefs. Each event is an authentic and elevated Farm-to-Table experience, enjoyed in direct proximity to the fields where the food is grown, and our various flower, herb, and pollinator gardens.

The upcoming season will be especially exciting with the addition of our new facility - an indoor kitchen and classroom, adjacent to our existing outdoor dining pavilion. This will include ADA bathrooms and an expanded kitchen space that will allow guest chefs and our staff to be even more creative with the menus that we plan, execute, and serve.

Your Farm Dinner experience begins with the opportunity to roam our grounds and gardens, followed by a one-of-a-kind menu centering on seasonal products from Churchview with thoughtful wine and beverage pairings.

See listings below for details, including dietary accommodations provided specifically by each chef for their unique menus. Alison Hillard, CVF General Manager, will reach out via email in the weeks prior to each event to confirm these details with our guests.

Space is limited to 60 people per event, ages 21 and over. Prices listed are per person, inclusive of the entire experience, and support our community and educational programming. All events are rain or shine and all sales are final. The $10 increase for 2026 tickets reflects a compensation adjustment for our guest chefs in order to lessen the impact of rising costs in the restaurant industry. Tickets are limited to 8 per customer, please.

Farm Dinner with Black Radish Kitchen

Chef/Owner Kate Romane

We’re proud to wrap up this Sunday Series with the person who spearheaded it - Chef Kate Romane! When we first offered dinners at Churchview fourteen years ago, Kate had just opened the legendary e2 in Highland Park, and I was easing out of a career in public libraries, while teaching myself how to grow food and operate a farm. We may have accumulated some gray hairs in the process, but today Churchview is a thriving space for education and engagement, and Black Radish Kitchen offers some of the best Farm-to-Table food and catering in the city. Join us for one of the dinners that started it all! Guests will be welcomed with a beverage and passed appetizers, followed by a five course dining experience with pairings in our outdoor dining pergola.

Thank you for supporting our community! Your ticket pays for more than the unique food and beautiful surroundings that you and your guests experience on any given evening at the farm. Events at Churchview exist to support our farm, pay sustainable wages, and allow us to operate as a community space for education, programming, and engagement. None of our products (fruits, vegetables, herbs, eggs, honey) are publicly sold. Everything is grown by and given directly to those who come to the farm as part of our zero-cost community-based education. The rest is allocated to our guest chefs for these seasonal events. The $10 ticket increase for 2026 Sunday Series seats reflects an increase in compensation for our guest chefs in an attempt to lessen the impact of rising costs in the restaurant industry. 

All events are rain or shine, all sales are final, and all tickets limited to those age 21 and over. Please review our No Refunds/No Transfers/No Resales policies and Terms of Service here. Reminder: online resale of any Churchview Farm ticket is explicitly prohibited. Any ticket resold without expressed permission will not be honored.
