2014 marks the fourth season of Swank Table, the popular series of farm-to-table luncheons sponsored by Swank Specialty Produce in Loxahatchee.
Guests are greeted by the chefs with a welcome cocktail and bite before taking a tour of South Florida’s leading organic producer. After grazing at an appetizer station, they sit down at a communal table for a seven-course menu, designed by a team of chefs and served family style. A portion of the proceeds from each event is donated to a local charity, such as the Milagro Center in Delray Beach.
“These luncheons allow us to showcase the finest local chefs and bring food awareness to the public,” says Jodi Swank, who owns the farm with husband Darrin. “Palm Beach County has been very generous to us, and we want to give something back.”
Most events run from noon to 4 p.m. and cost $155, including wine with each course; the entire series may be purchased for $560. (561-202-5648, swankspecialtyproduce.com)
