Kai Kai Farm Dinners with Wine Tasting: Where South Florida’s Top Chefs Meet the Source
Just northwest of Palm Beach County, Kai Kai Farm in Indiantown has quietly become one of South Florida’s most respected farms — a trusted supplier to acclaimed restaurants like Oceano Kitchen, Café Chardonnay, Buccan, and District Table & Bar. Over the past two decades, owners Carl Frost and Diane Cordeau have transformed a former citrus grove into a thriving, sustainable farm known for more than 50 varieties of nutrient-rich vegetables, herbs, and greens.
Chefs across Palm Beach and Martin counties rely on Kai Kai’s seasonal harvests to craft unforgettable dishes — from wood-fired Brussels sprouts and heirloom tomatoes to vibrant beets and sweet farm strawberries. The farm’s dedication to soil health, sustainability, and fair agricultural practices has earned it a reputation as both a culinary cornerstone and a community treasure.
Each year, Kai Kai opens its gates to the public for its beloved Farm-to-Table Dinner Series, inviting guests to enjoy multi-course menus created by some of South Florida’s finest chefs. Each dinner includes wine pairings from around the world, live music, and a guided tour of the farm — all highlighting the connection between seed, soil, and the plate.
