Private Chef Experiences Rooted in Seasonality, Story & Soul

Fine dining meets local farms in an intimate, thoughtful meal shared with your favorite people.

This is not catering.
This is connection.

Imagine your home transformed into a restaurant for the evening.

The table is set. The wine is poured. The kitchen is full of the aroma of just-harvested herbs, handmade sauces, and stories waiting to be told.

This is what we do—seasonal, chef-curated experiences using ingredients sourced directly from our local farms. No imports. No shortcuts. Just real food, grown with care, cooked with soul, and served with purpose.

Season First. Values Always.

We don’t use out-of-season tomatoes or generic imported produce. We source directly from the small farms and producers we know and love, creating menus that reflect the rhythm of nature and the best of what’s growing right now.

Our commitment to sustainability means:

Supporting farms that prioritize soil health and biodiversity
Reducing waste through intentional menu planning
Making everything from scratch—from sauces to stocks to sweets
Cooking meals that nourish both people and the planet

We don’t just feed your guests.
We feed a better food system.

Meet the Chefs Behind the Experience

We’re Lisa and Patrick Balcom—chefs, partners, and co-founders of Farow at Home. Together, we bring over 20 years of fine dining experience to your private table, including our time at Farow, our acclaimed farm-to-table restaurant known for scratch cooking and sustainability.

Patrick brings soulful technique, deep savory flavor, and butchery expertise to each dish.
Lisa brings balance, artistry, and warmth through pastry and thoughtful wine pairings.

We believe a meal should be felt as much as it is tasted. Our goal is to help you and your guests connect—through food, story, and season.

What Kind of Experiences Do We Create?

We specialize in small, intentional gatherings—up to 15–20 guests max—to ensure every dish is served with care and attention.

You Relax and Enjoy

We cook, serve, and handle the cleanup and leave it like we were never there.

We are not your average private chefs.

Our menus are built around what’s fresh, local, and in season, and we work exclusively with small farms and producers who prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and ethical growing practices. You won’t find out-of-season tomatoes or imported asparagus here—just vibrant, peak-season ingredients grown right here in our region.

Because our menus change with the harvest, we do not offer pre-set menus more than a month in advance. This approach supports a more sustainable food system, reduces waste, and results in meals that are not only more flavorful—but more meaningful. We also only offer services to small intimate groups. We do not work with more than 15-20 people per event.
