It was time for an update. What the heck is LOCAVORE KC?
Hello! We’re Dylan and LizZ. Sometimes, we have dinner parties or share meals with friends. Friends, ever supportive, may donate funds if they’d like to help cover the cost of the meal. We would like YOU to be a friend we share meals with!
Get it? Good!
Our mission is to connect our friends with the natural world in perhaps the most direct way possible: by eating, and thus becoming it. You are what you eat!
We started as an underground supper club, serving locally grown, seasonal, quality food. One thing led to another, and now we are starting a regenerative farm in Liberty, MO. On this page, you can find updates on both of these things, and anything else cool we're involved with.
Are you a rebel? A foodie? A living, breathing person? Join the club and have some grub!

Q: What makes it an
'underground' dinner party?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A: We are a supper club, not a restaurant. There is a menu, and food is brought to you like at a restaurant, but that’s where the similarities end. We’re not an official or legally operating business entity - just individuals. We don’t charge for food, but give it to our friends for free. At some point, we sit down and eat with you!
When we have a dinner party, you are a guest and friend at our table, and we serve you with the same love as any of our other friends. We also happen to accept donations of either money or time, if you’d like to help out with the cost of the ingredients.
Isn’t it weird that this is considered subversive? We have nothing against the concept of food regulations, but shouldn’t humans be able to consent to sharing a meal together without having the government involved? Hey, at least “underground” sounds cool.
We are simply hosting a dinner party between friends, so you’ll see items on our menu you don’t see at restaurants or in the store. We serve wild-foraged plants and mushrooms, bugs, wild game, raw milk based products, even pork we raised ourselves!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Where are you located?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A: We change locations of our dinners often. Sometimes at urban farms, sometimes at venues, and sometimes at a friend’s house.
If we’re having it at a house or DIY venue, we say it’s at a “Secret Location”, only revealing the address to confirmed guests the morning of the dinner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What kind of food is it?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A: It’s almost entirely locally sourced, but that’s just the starting point. We like small, slow, humane, regenerative, and equitable food. After all, Belfonte is local, but they source from factory farms. We can do better than that, and encourage you to as well.
We love doing fun stuff and exploring new things, so our menus are eclectic. See for yourself by scrolling through the invites in our posts.
½ of our founding team is gluten-free, so we always have good GF options. Often, we also have vegetarian and vegan options. And not that bu****it where they just substitute processed garbage - real, intentionally crafted options.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How much should I donate?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
Our events are F - R - E - E.
If you wanna donate whatever spare change is in your pocket, that’s fine. If you were totally blown away, and compelled to contribute your life savings of $300, then great! You can even donate in multiples of pi. Just don’t donate negative dollars. That would be bad.
You can donate to us any time, not just if you attend a dinner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What about the farm?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A: Right now, we just raise pigs, with sunchokes coming this fall. We're only in the second year, but are planning on raising poultry, fish, mushrooms, perennial fruits and veggies, and native plants.
The concept of universal common ancestry drives us. Every living thing on this planet is a member of our shared family. Humane treatment of animals is a logical extension of that. To extend it further, our highest aim is maximizing pleasure and reducing suffering for as many members of our family as possible.
To that end, we also focus on ecological regeneration. Mostly by growing food from rescuing food waste, getting rid of invasive plants, putting in native plants, and building habitat.
In short, it’s our job to save the world.
(It’s yours as well; after all, it’s your home too).
