Mariya Kovacheva, head sommelier at Palm Beach’s Café Boulud, will pair pours with courses during an upcoming “Hot Pink” down-on-the-hydroponic-farm lunch at Loxahatchee’s Swank Specialty Produce.

Sommelier Mariya Kovacheva of Palm Beach's Cafe Boulud will choose and pour wines for an upcoming lunch at Swank Specialty Produce.

If you’re not familiar with Swank Specialty Produce by name, there’s a good chance you’ve tasted its perfect organic microgreens, veggies and more since several chefs in Palm Beach and elsewhere in South Florida source from and swear by Swank’s high quality.

The Feb. 10 “Hot Pink” lunch—Swank’s lunches each season often sell out fast so this heads-up communiqué is hardly premature—benefits The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Along with Kovacheva, four female South Florida chefs are on tap to prepare the meal featuring just-harvested produce and fish, meats, cheeses and more from Florida-based ranches and artisanal producers.

The chefs: Paula DaSilva of 150 Degrees at the Eden Roc in Miami Beach; Lauren DeShields of Market 17 in Fort Lauderdale; Julie Frans of Essensia at the Palms Hotel & Spa in Miami Beach; and Sarah Ortiz, a Dallas, Tex. Pastry chef.

The noon-4 p.m. lunch, including a tour of the farm, is $150 a person. For tickets, go to www.swankspecialtyproduce.com.

In other fare-on-the-farm news, this past Saturday’s dinner at Indiantown’s Kai Kai Farm was, by all accounts, a charmer thanks to the five-course meal prepared by Lenore Pinello and her staff from Tequesta’s In The Kitchen (www.inthekitchennow.com), plus the ambience complete with supping at a sunflower-set dining table in a candle-twinkling greenhouse.

Among the dinner courses: pan-seared scallop with sweet potato cake, heirloom tomato-ginger jam and tatsoy stirfry, and grilled Creekstone Farms flatiron steak with caramelized sweet onions, sauteed spinach and roasted fingerling potatoes.
