Join us for dinner on the farm with Chef Ian Robertson of Des Moines’ Oak Park on Sunday, May 31. It is always a treat when we get to welcome Chef Ian and his team to the farm and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the season! Their incredible attention to details to the way they magically highlight our produce will help create a night you won’t forget. Be sure to grab a seat at the table! Tickets available April 1st.

Chef Ian Robertson’s fascination with food began in childhood while living abroad with his family in Malaysia, Scotland, Benin, and France, where exposure to vibrant markets and diverse cuisines sparked a lifelong curiosity about how cultures express themselves through food. He trained at Ferrandi Paris before working in renowned kitchens including The Fat Duck in Bray and Chicago’s two-Michelin-starred Tru, later holding leadership roles in Chicago, Iowa, and New York, including Executive Sous Chef at ABC Kitchen.

For the past two and a half years, Robertson has served as Executive Chef of Oak Park in Des Moines, where his refined, seasonal menus and ingredient-driven approach have helped cultivate a reputation for exceptional quality and thoughtful fine dining. Drawing on decades of experience in Michelin- and AAA Five Diamond-recognized kitchens, Robertson pairs technical precision with Midwestern sensibility, creating dishes that celebrate the seasons while making guests feel both inspired and at home.
