The Home Fire Burns Brighter

This Winter, we stepped out of the cold and into the tropics. Though there wasn’t much cold to escape this year, leaving the farm to explore new lands and oceans was very rejuvenating. We sourced fresh fish from mongers, met fellow farmers and tasted their fruits, hiked a volcano, soaked in hot springs, met some monkeys, and played on the beach. We find travelling to be as inspiring as it is humbling, reminding us of what we have back home: peaceful surroundings, meaningful work, and a supportive community.

Thanks to Mercedes, our Burning Barrel farmhand and waitress, partner and friend, we returned home to a sound and happy farm. The pond is full, the animals are ready, and the land is fertile for the 2023 Season to begin.

 

New Season

Every year, fresh dandelion greens shoot from the Earth, velvety soft buds emerge from barren fruit trees, fuzzy new chicks arrive (120 Freedom Rangers just last week), and we’re off and running. This year, though, it feels different. This year, our pace is buoyant and steady. This year, we know who this creation is for. You.

New Life

In 2022, you booked our reservation calendar to capacity for most of the season, and for this we were very grateful. In preparation for your arrival in 2023, we have:

  • expanded our table to seat 30 guests per evening.

  • created new beverages to pair with each course - sakes, honey meads, hard kombuchas, fruit wines, herbal seltzers, and more.

  • begun planning a breeding program for our pastured Mangalitsa pigs.

Our menus will be completely new each weekend with a rotating focus: Pastured Pork, Pastured Poultry, or Vegetarian Fare. Check the Events Calendar for your ideal evening and get your reservation on lock.

We very much look forward to seeing you around our table in 2023!
