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.

The evening will kick off with a cocktail and appetizer hour with Artisan Grain Collaborative’s Network Engagement Director, Sarah Elliott, and Granor's Lead Baker, Jill Morgan. This time will provide guests with the opportunity to learn about the organization's essential work directly from Ms. Elliott, as well as connect with other philanthropic-minded community members. We will then move to the Granor Greenhouse for a three-course, family-style meal that showcases the best of Granor's grains and crops, as well as other ingredients from local producers and farms.

Artisan Grain Collaborative is guided by the vision of a thriving and equitable Midwest staple crops economy that stewards our landscapes and ecosystems, strengthens connections between rural and urban communities, and ensures regional food security. In 2016, Chicago bakers interested in using local flour connected with a group of environmentalists concerned about the environmental impacts of farming. Together, they realized that local production of small grains could improve Midwestern landscapes and expand the flavor and variety of fresh whole grains available to the region. Since their first meetings, the group -- what we now know as AGC -- has grown in breadth and geography to create a network of stakeholders jointly bolstering our regional grain economy through knowledge sharing, collaboration, and accessible community-led programming.
Our Dinner + Drinks event in support of Artisan Grain Collaborative will begin in our School House with cocktails crafted from Granor Spirits and grain-focused appetizers from the Granor Kitchen. During this time, guests will have ample opportunity to talk with and learn from AGC's Network Engagement Director, Sarah Elliott, as well as our Lead Baker, Jill Morgan, and other members of AGC. Immediately after the cocktail hour, a multi-course dinner featuring Granor-grown grains and produce will be served in our Greenhouse.
This ticket includes a $50 donation to Artisan Grain Collaborative that will be collected at the time of booking. This dinner is also included in our Advanced Sourdough 3 Day Intensive if you would like to expand your sourdough repertoire and have a great meal celebrating artisan grain.

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.
