5 courses. 5 chefs. One farm.

Peak Season 2026 tickets are on sale now! Find the link in our bio.🥬🔗

-

This is the one event people ask about all year.
July in Southwest Michigan is a turning point. Cherries, blueberries, raspberries. The first peaches. The fields are full. Squash, cucumbers, tomatoes coming in strong. The menu follows the harvest, built around what’s coming in that week.

We’ll gather at @mickklugfarms, a third-generation family farm in Southwest Michigan that has been growing for this region for decades. Fruit is picked at peak ripeness and brought straight to market, with a deep, long-standing commitment to the land and the people it feeds.

It’s simple in the best way. Good food, grown well, cooked with care, shared outside.

Your ticket includes a five course meal that reflects the height of the season and the relationships behind it.

This is a fundraiser for Green City Market. Every ticket helps make this work possible. It supports the farmers behind the stands, brings people closer to the food on their plate, and keeps this market open and accessible to more of our community.

Just another day preparing the classics.💕

Our Sweet Corn Tamales (Tamales de Elote) have been a staple on the Frontera Grill menu!

We use local corn from Three Sisters Garden We buy it at the peak of the season and preserve it so we can serve that fresh-off-the-cob taste all year round. So grateful to work with such incredible local ingredients every day! 🌽🌽🫔
