Hi! We're Homie Hospitality, collectively Ryan and Ashley of Farm Spirit & Dave and Autumn of Such and Such Farm. The idea of Homie Hospitality is simple: to bring people together by connecting them to their food source in a true farm-to-table dining experience.
​
​
Each dinner features ingredients that are grown or raised at the farm, typically within 300 feet of the dining room! More than just produce and proteins, even the floral decor for the tables and wood for the fires are sourced from the farm as well. During cocktail hour, we invite guests to explore the farm and see where their food comes from. Guests are encouraged to walk the garden, pet the goats, visit with the pigs and take in the sights and ambiance of the farm. Every dinner is cooked over a live, wood fire that's on display behind our prep kitchen. Not only can guests see where their food comes from, but they can watch it being cooked too!
​
​
What makes our team extra special is that our front of house and back of house staff are very well rounded in the farming and hospitality industry. We are chefs, farmers, sommeliers, foragers, craftsmen and butchers. Our team is very excited to share their passion and wealth of knowledge with our diners and guests!

​
frequently asked questions
when do you release the menu for each dinner?
​
we create each menu off of what produce and proteins are available in the week leading up to the dinner, this ensures that we are using the most seasonal and freshest ingredients possible. because of this, we don't usually release the menu until the week of the event, however often dinners will sell out before the menu is released.
​
I'm vegetarian, dairy free, etc. can you accommodate?
​
absolutely! AS LONG AS WE HAVE ADVANCE NOTICE, WE CAN ACCOMMODATE DIETARY NEEDS AND ALLERGIES. WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR A DINNER, THERE WILL BE AN OPTION TO LIST ANY DIETARY RESTRICTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT ANY DISH THAT REQUIRES A SUBSTITUTION WILL BE JUST AS DELICIOUS!
​
is the farm wheelchair accessible?
​
there are no steps on the way to the event barn, but there is a lot of gravel, dirt/grass. upon arrival you are welcome to park close to the barn instead of our main parking area. we recommend all terrain wheels to maneuver our rustic outdoor setting.
​
what should I expect at your farm dinners?​
​
we invite you to arrive at cocktail hour which begins at 5pm. during that time we'll have a welcome bite available for you to prepare your palette for dinner. water service is included with dinner. if you would like to imbibe on anything other than water during cocktail hour or dinner, Stl barkeep is on site with a cash bar. seating begins at 6pm where you'll be seated amongst other guests in a communal style seating. get to know your neighbors during dinner, you may just walk away with some new homies!
dinner is typically concluded around 8:30-9pm​. ​
​
what about restrooms?
​
portable restrooms and hand washing stations are on site but starting in winter of 2024 we'll be starting construction on permanent restrooms!
​
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
​
Our dinners are rain or shine and take place on an actual working farm. the terrain is grass and gravel so dress accordingly (leave the high heels at home, it's easier to explore the farm in flats or boots!). Come as casual or as fancy as you'd like, we're just happy to have you!
