Community Benefit Dinner: Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan
Granor Farm is fortunate to be rooted in a region supported by a variety of organizations devoted to improving the common good. Granor’s “Community Benefit Dinner” series connects diners with regional place-makers with Granor Farm as a philanthropic partner. Our program begins with a discussion orientated around the organization and how it connects to the region, followed by a multi-course meal showcasing ingredients grown by Granor.

Join us for an evening in support of Girls on the Run (GOTR) Southwest Michigan. Girls on the Run is an after-school youth development program designed for girls in 3rd-8th grade, whose Southwest Michigan chapter serves participants throughout Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties. GOTR strives to foster confidence and physical and mental well-being in young girls using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates movement.
Founded in 2011, Girls on the Run's Southwest Michigan chapter has served over 5,000 girls since its inception. Girls on the Run is much more than just a running club; their research-based curriculum utilizes physical movement, group discussions, and community impact projects to address a variety of issues facing young girls. GOTR's eight-week program concludes in a chapter-wide 5K to celebrate the achievements of their participants across Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties. Your support allows the organization to continue to be accessible to all girls, regardless of income.
This event will begin with a welcome drink and a conversation with Colby Wittman, the Executive Director of Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan. She will discuss GOTR's history, their current programming and plans for the future, and how best to support their work within our communities.
Immediately after the talk, a multi-course dinner featuring crops grown by Granor will be served in our Greenhouse.
This ticket includes a $100 donation to Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan that will be collected at the time of booking. Guests are encouraged to wear their running shoes! Please know we are not a restaurant open to the public. All dinners are ticketed by advance reservation only and include beverage pairings. No outside alcohol is allowed.

Dinner + Drinks: Passages Listening Party
Our 2026 Granor Farm Kick Off Event will be one of the most special nights on the farm. Join us for a true Dinner Party, complete with cocktail hour and multi-course family style meal. This first-of-the-series event is in support of Passages: Artists in Solidarity with Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers, a brand new compilation album featuring newly commissioned songs from Dirty Projectors, Bonnie "Prince" Billie, Alan Sparhawk of Low, and many others.

The evening will kick off a cocktail and appetizer hour with the album's co-producer Emilie Rex and DJ set from local musican and album contributor Erik Hall. We will then move to the Granor Greenhouse for a family style meal, inspired by the idea of 'home', which is central to the mission of the work, all accompanied by the Pasages vinyl LP as our dinner music. This event continues the project's fundraising efforts with donations going directly to the two Texas-based, non-profit support organizations, American Gateways and Casa Marianella.

Albums will be available for pre-order at the time of booking and for purchase on the night.
The meal will be paired with Granor Table Wines and full NA beverages are available upon request.
