Beat the city heat this summer and head out to North Andover for some cool shade under the tent at Smolak Farms for their Whim Farm to Table Dinner Series. Starting June 1st, the working farm will host a mid-week pop-up dinner with some of the best Boston-area chefs and restaurants. Get psyched to see your favorites (think: Urban Hearth, Clink., Ledger, Sonsie and Town Meeting Bistro at the Inn at Hastings Park, among others) outside of their brick-and-mortar boxes as they make multi-course meals — on a whim — using Smolak’s super-fresh homegrown ingredients.

More dates and menus will be added throughout the season at least two weeks in advance, so bookmark Smolak Whim event website or follow them on Instagram. Tickets are $110 each sold in advance here or in person at the farm stand (315 South Bradford Street, North Andover), which is open daily from 7:00am-6:00pm. Price does not include beverages, tax or gratuity. Dinner check-in starts at 5:30pm and first courses are served at 6:00pm rain or shine under the tent so, no umbrellas required (maybe just some sensible-yet-fashionable footwear for walking through the farm to your table).
