Our occasional Know Your Farmer Dinners pair a one-of-a-kind menu with a chance to personally talk with incredible Iowa growers.

Caleb and Rebecca Baker from R l C Family Farms in Clearfield, IA will bring their grass-fed beef and rye to the Wallace House on Thursday, March 3 for a three-course meal you won’t soon forget. Caleb and Rebecca practice regenerative farming. Caleb says, “As I learned about soil health and the direct link to healthy food, I had this ah- ha moment. The crops and cattle that I grow and raise on my farm eventually end up on someone’s plate! I decided right then and there I wanted to change the way I was farming. I began to transition our farm to organic and raise my cattle on pasture with my focus on soil health and increasing biodiversity.”

1st: Coriander-Braised Beef Roast + Chile-Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Greens, Corn Relish

2nd: Garlic-Crusted Tenderloin + Gillfeather Turnip & Sweet Onion Puree, Rye Berries, Microgreen & Pickled Onion Salad, Red Wine Jus
