The Farm
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 & Nursery — so we can provide you with the freshest, most delicious ingredients that pave the way for an impressive event experience.

FARM-FRESH CATERING
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!
