Food obsessed.
All too often the food at special events leaves much to be desired, but we understand it’s one of the most important parts of your special day. That’s why we started the SaltBlock farm — so we can provide you with the freshest, most delicious ingredients that pave the way for an impressive event experience.
In addition to growing our own vegetables and herbs, we’re raising a flock of Cinnamon Queen hens for farm-fresh eggs. We’ll be using them in a crowd-pleasing dessert you don’t want to miss out on!
We also have a number of peacocks on property— Contact us for a tour to come experience the farm!

HOW TO PLAN A SEASONAL MENU FOR YOUR EVENT
Seasonal, farm-to-table dining isn’t just trendy; it’s often tastier, healthier, and more interesting. But it’s also unpredictable and for some people, and can feel a little risky when you’re planning an event months in advance. We can help you plan a seasonal menu that you’re guests will love no matter what ends up on their plate!
