Join us for Dinner + Drinks with Seedz Brewery of Union Pier! The evening will begin with a beer and appetizer hour in our School House, featuring Seedz beer and appetizers from the Granor Kitchen. We will then move to our Greenhouse for a three-course, family-style meal loaded with Granor-grown produce and paired with Ryan's favorite beers from the Seedz catalog.
Seedz is a small-batch brewery dedicated to honoring classic European brewing styles while using locally-sourced ingredients from within the Midwest region. Owned by New Buffalo native, Ryan Ziarko, their beer incorporates local agriculture, including Granor Farm grains, to make truly exceptional beers.
*Please note that while we accommodate all dietary restrictions, this menu will feature gluten and beer heavily.*
At Granor Farm, partnering with and celebrating like-minded businesses in our community has always been a part of our ethos. That is why we are delighted to welcome longtime friend of Granor, local agriculture advocate, and owner of Seedz Brewery—Ryan Ziarko—back to the farm this November.
After many years of homebrewing and perfecting his recipes and techniques at breweries throughout the Michiana region, Ryan decided to create a brewery of his own focused on traditional techniques and locally-grown grains and hops. Seedz opened it doors in 2021, and has since become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike for its thoughtfully-crafted, delicate Belgian and Czech-style beers and slow pours that create a pillowy foam topping. Granor Farm is proud to supply the grains for several Seedz beers, including their Mitten Life American Lager, brewed with our organic corn.
This Dinner + Drinks event will begin in our School House with a selection of Seedz beers and appetizers from the Granor Kitchen. During this time, guests will have the opportunity to chat with Ryan about all things mixed-fermentation, foam, and local grains. Immediately after the cocktail hour, a three-course, family-style dinner featuring Granor-grown produce paired with Seedz beers will be served in our Greenhouse.
*Please note that while we accommodate all dietary restrictions, this menu will feature gluten and beer heavily.*

Sourdough Club: Advanced Sourdough 3-Day Intensive
This class is for seasoned sourdough bakers (professional or home) looking to explore the world of whole-grain and stone-milled flours, wood-fire baking, and more!
Join Granor Head Baker, Jill Morgan, as she guides you through the entire sourdough process from feeding starter, shaping, proofing, scoring, and baking in both a wood and electric oven. In addition to the instruction this package includes all meals including a Welcome Dinner on Thursday night, breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday, and tickets to our Dinner + Drinks: Artisan Grain Collaborative event on Friday night. Throughout the class you'll have full access to the Granor Kitchen and Team to learn all of our tricks and techniques.
Students can expect to work with a diverse array of sourdoughs, ranging from porridge loaves to naturally leavened brioche and many others in between. Students will mix, observe, fold, shape, and bake a variety of breads. This is a very hands-on workshop, you will get your hands in the dough and have the opportunity to investigate whole grain and inclusion influences on sourdough bread making.
Students will leave with a sourdough workbook filled with recipes and theory for further reinforcement. Students will also get to bring home a bag of fresh baked bread! Participants in the Advanced 3-Day Intensive also receive a promo code at the time of booking for 10% of the subsequent Sourdough Club tutorials throughout the year.
Dinner + Drinks: Artisan Grain Collaborative
Granor Farm is fortunate to be rooted in a region supported by a variety of organizations devoted to improving the common good. Our September Dinner + Drinks event will be benefiting Artisan Grain Collaborative, a robust network of local farmers, millers, maltsters, distillers, bakers, and chefs. AGC works to create a diverse regional grainshed in the Upper Midwest built upon regenerative agricultural practices that steward the health of communities, local economies, and natural resources.
