Nestled against the majestic Bear Butte, Bear Butte Gardens is more than just a farm—it's a vibrant hub of community, education, and delicious homegrown goodness. We invite you to various on-farm events throughout the year, each offering a unique way to connect with the land, learn new skills, and savor the bounty of the Black Hills.



Date Night Dinner - Cooking Class with Chef Travis Bartels

Seeking a date night that stands out? Immerse yourselves in a culinary journey with our unique 'Date Night Dinner Cooking Classes' led by the esteemed Chef Travis Bartels. Together, craft a multi-course meal using fresh, seasonal ingredients from the farm, and gain insights to impress your partner long after the class!

This event includes an entree cooking lesson with Chef Travis Bartels, culminating in a candlelit dinner for the two of you. You will be greeted with an appetizer during your entree cooking lesson, and then a salad and dessert will be added to your meal. Your meal will include a nonalcoholic beverage and water, or you can add a bottle of wine or beer(s) for an additional charge.

Your entree options vary with the season, ensuring you enjoy the freshest produce from our gardens!

The evening (per couple) is $125 plus tax.

We also offer a $200 plus tax option that includes the dinner AND a one-night stay in our vacation rental connected to our farm stand building.

Please call or message us at 605-490-2919 to make a reservation. Dates are available based on the chef’s schedule, so please inquire.

Book your private session and prepare for an evening of laughter, learning, and culinary creations!
