Around 7pm everyone will be seated at our 24-person farm table to a
beautiful salad course, and we'll give a brief introduction to Big
Delicious Planet, CHICAGO's only 4-Star Certified Green
Restaurant. Next, we'll serve a leisurely family-style DINNER WITH 3
ENTREES AND SEVERAL SIDE DISHES. The DINNER WILL CONCLUDE WITH ONE OF
OUR DELICIOUS SEASONAL DESSERTS. _$125.00 t__icket price includes a
4-course meal and beverages. _FAQS
WHAT’S ON THE MENU? We're not sure yet, but it will be a fun,
fresh, flavorful meal with many of our own organically grown
vegetables and herbs, as well as locally sourced meat.
WHAT DRINKS WILL WE SERVE? We'll be partnering with local beverage
companies and incorporating some items from our farm to come up with
some fun drinks. Each event includes a seasonal cocktail, local beer,
wine and non-alcoholic beverages. It's all included in the ticket
price.
WHAT IF I'M VEGETARIAN, VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE OR HAVE AN ALLERGY? We've
got vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free folks covered, but give us a
heads up. If you have an allergy, let us know what it is and we
should be able to accommodate you. The majority of our food is
vegetarian or vegan.
CAN I BUY A GROUP TICKETS? Our farm table seats 24. Buy as many as
you like! We also host private events in the Urban Farm for up to 60
people.
CAN I ARRIVE LATE? Sure, but we can't be sure if you'll get to try
everything if you're late. The evening begins at 6pm and concludes at
9pm.
CAN I BRING CHILDREN OR A DOG? Only adorable sleeping babies and nice
kids 13 years or older. Dogs are not permitted in our garden.
IS THERE PARKING OR TRANSIT NEARBY? We have a parking lot in front of
our building you may use and there is plenty of street parking after
5pm. There is a bike rack outside our gate. The Grand Avenue bus is
nearby as well as Divvy stations.
DO WE HAVE BEES? Yes, we have 2 hives in the back corner of the farm.
The bees are rarely a nuisance, but note that this is a warning that
we do have bees. We suggest you go easy on the AXE body spray before
coming so the bees don't make a beeline for you.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Dress how you like, but look cute because we'll
be taking lots of photos! Because of the gravel and wood chips, we
don't recommend heels. You may want to bring a hat or sunglasses if
you're facing the sunset. Also, the temperature drops after sunset, so
you may want a jacket, wrap or blanket.
WHAT IF IT RAINS? We might not make a decision until an hour before
the event, but we have plenty of space to move the event indoors for
an equally awesome time.
WHAT IF I HAVE TICKETS BUT I CAN’T ATTEND THE EVENT?
Due to the nature of our events, no refunds will be given for
cancellations. If you cannot attend the dinner, you are welcome to
transfer your tickets to someone else. Please contact us with the new
guest’s information at least 24 hours prior to the event or tell the
guests using your reservation to give your name at arrival.
IS GRATUITY INCLUDED? It's not, but our servers always appreciate it
at the end of the evening.
ANYTHING ELSE? Yes, no smoking within 20 feet of our garden.
