Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Catering with Farm to Fork

At Farm to Fork, we believe great events begin with clear communication. Below are answers to the questions we’re most often asked about booking, menus, service, and sourcing.

  • The best way to inquire about availability is to complete the Catering Inquiry Form.

    Submitting the form tentatively places your event on our calendar while we review your details. Your event is not confirmed until you receive a proposal, sign a contract, and submit your deposit.

  • Once we receive your inquiry:

    • A member of our team will follow up by email.
    • We’ll create a custom proposal based on your event details.
    • You’ll receive an online booking file that includes your proposal, contract, and invoice.

    You can review everything digitally, sign your contract online, and pay your deposit securely.

  • Our minimum order is generally $500, though certain dates, venues, or event types may require a higher minimum.

    We encourage you to inquire regardless of size — we’re always happy to let you know what’s possible based on your guest count, location, and service needs.

  • We frequently cater:

    • Corporate events

    • Nonprofit fundraisers and gatherings

    • Private home entertaining

    • Anniversaries

    • Graduations

    • Birthdays

    • Showers

    • Brunches

    • Celebrations of life

    We also cater events at Kentucky distilleries, which are especially popular for groups visiting the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

    We accept a limited number of weddings each year, typically working alongside wedding planners with whom we have established relationships.

    We do not provide private chef services.

  • Yes. We offer seasonal, locally sourced box lunches that are ideal for corporate meetings, nonprofit events, and community gatherings.

    We can accommodate large orders — including 200+ lunches — and have extensive experience executing high-volume orders efficiently and on time.

  • Absolutely. We specialize in seasonal, chef-driven menus and are happy to customize offerings to reflect your event style, guest preferences, and dietary needs.

    Because we focus on fresh, local ingredients, menu selections may shift slightly based on seasonal availability.

  • We generally do not offer tastings.

    Our menus reflect our seasonal culinary style and commitment to thoughtful sourcing. If you have questions about flavor profiles, ingredients, or preparation, we’re happy to discuss those details during the proposal process. We are also happy to provide references from private and corporate clients.

  • Not everything we serve is local — and we believe in being transparent about that.

    Because we cook seasonally, not all ingredients are available locally year-round. Whenever possible, we prioritize:

    • Locally grown, organic produce

    • Locally, sustainably raised meats

    • Locally produced artisan cheeses

    • Kentucky-made specialty products

    We are proud to partner with local producers such as Blue Dog Bakery, Bourbon Barrel Foods, Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese, Capriole Goat Cheeses, and many other Kentucky and Southern Indiana farms and food artisans.

    Our approach is simple: when it makes sense seasonally and logistically, we source locally first. When it doesn’t, we still prioritize quality, freshness, sustainability and responsible sourcing.

  • Yes. We regularly accommodate:

    • Gluten-free

    • Vegetarian

    • Vegan

    • Dairy-free

    Many of our dishes are naturally gluten-free. However, we are not a certified gluten-free kitchen. Gluten-containing ingredients are present in our facility. Guests with severe allergies should make decisions based on their own dietary needs and medical guidance.

  • We include eco-friendly disposable serveware with our catering services.

    If you prefer real china, glassware, flatware, or linens, we work with trusted rental partners and can coordinate rentals on your behalf for a 20% service fee.

    We provide:

    Your final guest count and remaining balance are due prior to your event, as outlined in your contract.

    All payments are processed securely online.
