We’re getting pickled! This December, we’re thrilled to welcome Chef Brian Greene of Chicago’s Pickled Prince to Granor Farm for a special Dinner + Drinks collaboration with Granor Executive Chef Alex Skrzypczyk.
The evening will begin with a cocktail crafted from Brian’s Pickle Spritz Lemonade alongside snacks from Brian and the Granor Kitchen. From there, we'll move into the Greenhouse for a multi-course, family-style dinner highlighting Granor-grown ingredients alongside the pickles, preserves, ferments, and bold flavors of Pickled Prince.
The meal will be paired with Granor Table Wines and full NA beverages are available upon request.
Pickled Prince began in Chicago in 2020 when Brian and Alex found themselves with some unexpected time on their hands and a shared desire to keep cooking. What started with batches of pickles made for friends and family quickly grew into a small batch condiment company rooted in their love of Midwestern produce and preserving the seasons. Over the years, the pair have transformed farmers market finds into everything from pickles and giardiniera to hot sauces, jams, ferments, and more.
Today, Alex brings that same love of seasonal Midwestern cooking to the kitchen at Granor Farm, while Brian continues to helm Pickled Prince in Chicago. For one night, we're bringing them back together in the kitchen to celebrate where their shared work began and the abundance of the growing season that can still be enjoyed long after the fields have gone quiet.
Come hungry and ready to get pickled!

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.
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.
