Chef Mat Meyer returns to Locavore Farm after an exceptional collaboration last season, invited back for his bold style, strong point of view, and deeply human approach to hospitality. With more than two decades of culinary experience, Meyer has built a reputation for restaurant-quality dining in intimate settings, pairing refined execution with a creative edge that has earned him a loyal following across Arizona and beyond. His work is rooted in seasonality, story, and connection—values that align seamlessly with Locavore’s Dine on the Land ethos. On this regenerative farm, his menu will draw from the harvest in real time, transforming peak ingredients into a dinner that feels both artful and generous. It is the kind of evening that offers more than a meal: a sense of occasion, a spirit of gathering, and a lasting impression. SOLD OUT!

Locavore Farm’s annual holiday gatherings, Friendsgiving and Christmas on the Farm, will return later this year with the same warmth, beauty, and thoughtful hospitality guests have come to love. Rooted in the spirit of the season and shaped by Locavore’s signature approach to gathering, these events offer a more intimate expression of the farm—where festive tables, chef-driven menus, and the quiet magic of late autumn and early winter create something deeply memorable. Each holiday experience will be guided by the same care for detail, sense of welcome, and reverence for the table that define Dine on the Land. Dates, featured chefs, full experience details, and reservations for both Friendsgiving and Christmas on the Farm will be released on August 1. Want to be on the “Nice” list?
