OUR STORY 

The Perfect Choice

With a family lineage dating back to 1885, we take much pride & respect for our town and family farm, which is why we created 1885 Fare Farm to Table, bringing our experience to the table not only with our farm fresh eggs & meat but by also creating a slow paced, safe & tranquil environment for all. Just as Great Grandpa Barker used to remind us and say, “Slow down and take some time to smell the roses.”  

So please join us for your next freshly roasted espresso, get lucky with a double yolker, enjoy our various lunch options or simply work on a crossword puzzle while enjoying  a freshly baked dessert from our kitchen! The 1885 family  can’t wait to meet you!

UNDERSTANDING THE FARM TO TABLE JOURNEY

Uniquely Delicious Experience

1885 Fare Farm to Table is a one-of-a-kind culinary establishment in the area, with a menu and environment inspired by the idea of simple, honest home cooking. As we look for caring and understanding partnerships that are  aware of each other’s needs, challenges, and opportunities our menu will continue to evolve.  Together we will grow to enjoy the nuances of a farm to table menu, particularly the daily change in our menu due to product availability, meaning that once an item is sold out, it may not be available again until it is recreated from scratch, a new meat order is processed, our free range hens provide us with more fresh eggs or our busy little bees bless us with more sweet honey.  Thank you for trusting us to take you on a culinary journey like no other & bringing communities and farmers together. Please come explore our classic recipes and new-age kitchen adventures, each dish reflects our passion for high-quality food presented in a simple yet pleasing manner. Dive right in, and take a bite; join us today.
