The Swank Table 2025-26 season has arrived, bringing 10 themed dinners featuring South Florida’s finest chefs, brewers and musicians — all in support of local charities. Guests will gather under the twinkling lights of Swank Specialty Produce’s 20-acre Loxahatchee Groves farm for unforgettable evenings that blend seasonal menus, craft beverages and live entertainment.
Now in its 17th season, the series continues its mission to celebrate local agriculture, showcase top culinary talent and raise funds for deserving organizations. This year’s lineup features first-time chef appearances and fun new themes: Funk on the Farm in collaboration with the Kravis Center, a roaring 1920s Speakeasy experience complete with vintage attire and a secret password, an all-female chef Italian feast (Hot Pink Tomato), the authentic South African Braai with internationally acclaimed bassist Bakithi Kumalo, and a foot-stomping Full Moon Hoe Down to celebrate Swank’s 25th anniversary. Beloved traditions like Throwback to the ’70s and the ever-chic White Party return for another season.
Leading the culinary charge once again is Swank’s own resident chef, Jon Sarmiento, whose innovative approach and deep connection to the farm’s produce set the tone for each dinner. From fresh, pesticide-free vegetables to micro-greens and edible flowers, the farm’s bounty takes center stage at these events, supported by local partners. Sponsors of Swank Table include Mr. Greens, Independent Seafood, Palm Beach Illustrated, Miami Club Spirits, Jon Wine, Cumbres Coffee and more.
In addition to the Swank Table series, Swank Specialty Produce will host its fifth annual Farmer’s Market starting on Saturday, Oct. 11. This free market, open every Saturday through May from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., offers fresh produce, live music and a wide selection of goods from more than 25 local vendors.
