Labor Day weekend on the farm looks like this: goats out in the pasture, a new cocktail list at Caprae, and a farm store stocked with the cheeses that got us here. Try the Malachai's Harvest this weekend, a blend of blanc vermouth, Nixta corn liqueur, lemon, corn, and sorghum, built for late summer.

🥃 Saturday, the bar cart belongs to Silver Tree.

Silver Tree B**r & Spirits is taking over our bar cart this Saturday, 10am to 2pm, pouring Bloody Marys made with their Down East Vodka. It's their pilot product, a small batch wheat vodka with a clean, smooth finish, made from wheat grown on their own Cow Creek Farm outside Paxton, on land that's been in their family five generations.

Clay Glazik will be out here serving alongside us. Choose from three toppers: the Caprae Classic, Caprese, or BLT.

Can't make it Saturday? The same Bloody Marys are on the Caprae menu all weekend long.

Cooking with Cheese, with Cheesemaker Leslie Cooperband

We're welcoming back Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery's founder and original Head Cheesemaker, Leslie Cooperband, for an evening built around her craft.

Guests arrive at 5pm for a welcome cocktail and a guided farm tour, meeting the goats behind the cheese and learning how our regenerative farming practices shape everything we make. Dinner follows: an intimate, multi-course meal built around our artisan goat cheeses, with Leslie leading a cooking demonstration and discussion at each course. W**e pairings, thoughtfully selected to match, are poured throughout the night.

Thursday, September 10, doors at 4pm. $85 per person plus tax and service, including welcome cocktail, dinner, and w**e pours. Seating is limited given the hands-on format of the evening, so early reservations are recommended.
