Company description

At Farmstead Catering, we operate as a synergy between farm and kitchen by “insourcing” all the ingredients. Our company is comprised of farmers, artisans and chefs who transform ingredients grown at our own 170 acre farm. Farm to table food hasn't just become trendy, it has become obsolete. Our mission is to create events centered around food that are grown at our own farm using sustainable methods. We have had the privilege of assembling a team of tremendous talent who work tirelessly to grow ingredients and create dishes that are seasonal, adventurous and beautiful. Our meat, diary, vegetables, herbs and flowers blend together to give attendees an experience that stays with all their senses long after the party has died down.

Our farm is powered by solar energy and other renewable energy. We focus on soil health and regenerative methods to develop our own terroire. We specialize in on-farm dinners, weddings and special events in upstate New York. We take pride in our work and we take pleasure in sharing that work with our community.
