Seasonal Dining at a Historic House
Farm to Table Thursdays
WCI is pausing Farm to Table Thursdays for the remainder of 2023.
Farm to table dining in Des Moines has expanded & changed dramatically since we started Farm to Table Thursday dinners in 2014. In light of that, our staff and board need to take some time to research and reflect on what are the best ways for our food programs to be strong, sustainable, engaging and fit within the current landscape.
Your support is deeply appreciated during this transition and we look forward to welcoming folks back to the Wallace House in 2024.
Know Your Farmer Dinner
Our occasional Know Your Farmer Dinners pair a one-of-a-kind menu with a chance to personally talk with incredible Iowa growers.
The last Know Your Farmer dinner featured Amy & Jason Boyer of Osceola, IA. The Boyers raise all-natural beef and pork at Boyer Family Farms as well as own and operate the Harvest Barn Marketplace, an event space and weekend eatery. The store sells their meat, fresh produce, homemade fudge, candles and gifts.
2024 dates & featured farmers will be announced after Jan. 1, 2024.
