Farm-To-Table Experience Supports The Legacy Ranch

LOCKPORT, IL — Join The Legacy Ranch in Lockport for a farm-to-table experience while supporting the nonprofit's mission to improve the lives of individuals with physical, developmental, or emotional challenges by offering equine-assisted services to those in need.

Executive Director Kate Rasmussen said the event, Barrels & Bites, will be held outdoors on the farm's 20-acre property at 2705 S. Farrell Road, in Lockport.

"We will have a chef that is making a 3-course meal, and she is utilizing the produce out of our own garden that was grown by our adult life skills program," Rasmussen said.

Barrels & Bites will also feature a curated bourbon and wine offering that will be paired with the meal, with a bartender that is very well known in the community, Rasmussen said. A musician will also play live music throughout the evening.

Tickets are available online for the event, which will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 4.

Rasmussen said the proceeds from the event will support the nonprofit's mission.

"Everything will be outdoors in front of the horses grazing in the pasture with the sunset as a backdrop," Rasmussen said.
