Featuring a handcrafted meal using locally grown, sustainably sourced ingredients cooked over the open fire. This unique dining experience will take place at Tillers' beautiful rural campus and farm field just south of Kalamazoo.
Guests will enjoy a multi-course seasonal menu, prepared by local chefs, in a setting that honors tradition, simplicity, and community.
