Dinner on the farm with Houndstooth Modern Tavern
We just bought our new farm, and we’re ready to share in this special moment the best way we know how: over incredible food and drinks with our new community. This dinner will also help us raise funds to make the move and get established here.
On Sunday, October 4, 2026, please join us for a 5-course dinner and drink pairing menu crafted and prepared by Houndstooth Modern Tavern.
Courses will feature Sweet Season Farm produce and other ingredients from local farms.
Dinner begins at 4 p.m. Please plan to arrive about 30 minutes early for a welcome and orientation to the farm.
Tickets are nonrefundable. If you cannot attend, you may transfer your ticket to someone else.
Why this dinner
It’s not something you see every day, but this special farm is making the incredible transition from one vegetable farm to the next: from Loon Organics to Sweet Season Farm.
This dinner is a celebration, and it’s also a fundraiser for the next chapter of this farm.
We just bought the farm and are making the big move from Decorah, Iowa, to Hutchinson this fall. There’s a lot that goes into moving an entire farm and getting ready to grow for a new community, and the support from this dinner will help us make that transition and hit the ground running in 2027.
Tickets are $150 per person. If you feel moved to give a little more, you can choose a $200 or $250 ticket, with the additional funds going toward helping us move and get established here. Every ticket includes the same dinner and experience.
During the dinner, we’ll share our story, from a ¼-acre patch to a 40-acre farm. Laura Cullip from Loon Organics will share what it takes to pass a farm from one generation of vegetable farmers to the next, and why transitions like this matter for the future of our rural communities.
