Vermont Farms Catering

buffet-style pig roast. This was such a tremendous hit that 2 weeks later people are still asking me how we pulled it off. That night Katie brought over some homemade marshmallows for smores and they were unreal. I may have gained 5 lbs that night alone. The cocktail hour and reception were just as phenomenal. They even let us get creative during the reception and have the sides in a family style setup to make the whole night more fun while providing everyone their meals. Oh and did I mention that all the food was AMAZING?! They knocked everything out of the park and their service staff was courteous, respectful, and very accommodating.

They have gone above & beyond and created an unforgettable food experience for us and our guests. Everyone is still talking about a wide selection of hors d'oeuvres served during the Cocktail Hour, a delicious smoky tomato soup served during the Reception & Chicken that was truly out of this world! Words cannot describe how immensely fortunate and grateful we, and our guests, are for everything that Katie, Kevin & the catering staff did for our Wedding!!! With love, Oksana + Peter + Bobke

as delicious. The team arrived at the house, did their magic, and cleaned up as if they were never there.

extremely friendly and professional. We highly recommend Vermont Farms Catering!!!

lent. How do they make the most perfectly cooked dime sized cheeseburger... we will never know... Our guests could not stop raving about their dinners. All 230 entrees were cooked beautifully, were so tender and fresh and just gorgeous. The staff was wonderful and beyond attentive. If we could do it all again we would hire them in a heartbeat. Vermont Farms Catering is without a doubt the very best.

will completely change your expectations for off-site catered events. The food at our wedding was absolutely perfect in preparation, presentation, quality and quantity. We were married at the Trailside Inn on June 30th and had retained VFC about eight months prior to the event. We had several conference calls and emails with Katie to work out the menu and details of exactly what we envisioned for the event. Throughout the whole planning process Katie was accessible, organized and a pleasure to work with. We were lucky enough to enjoy a meal at their Backroom Restaurant in Pittsfield, VT prior to our tasting so we had two previews of what the food would be like. We have to say, the food at our wedding was every bit as good as the tasting and we have had multiple guests after the wedding commenting that this was the best wedding cuisine that they have ever had. Since our wedding day was more of a wedding weekend at the Trailside Inn, we also retained VFC to provide a welcome dinner BBQ buffet and light breakfast the morning after the wedding. Both of these additional services were also expertly prepared, presented and absolutely delicious. We’ve been trying to replicate their chimmi-churri sauce ever since the event! Essentially, Chef Kevin and Katie can create an appetizer and dinner menu with a wine/beer and cocktail list that is completely your creation and will exceed your expectations. We truly feel fortunate to have been able to work with Kevin and Katie for our wedding and the food is not easily forgotten! We highly recommend Vermont Farms Catering for all your events, you will be in very good hands! Thank you Kevin and Katie! -James & Loren.

were very open to our preferences/tastes, and crafted a menu that was seasonal, local, and suited us. The first time we visited Killington, we got a reservation at their restaurant (winter only I think) the Backroom, and the food was absolutely incredible. The next day we came back for a tasting, and it was just my (then) fiance and me with Katie and Kevin. Kevin cooked us everything from the menu right there, and Katie talked us through the details and had us try some wine pairings. The food was delicious (and generous!) and we were feeling confident that it would turn out great. On the day of the wedding, the food was wonderful, and everything went smoothly with the catering staff. They were very friendly and professional. We couldn't be happier! Thank you for making our wedding so special!

of parents at separate tastings and were so patient with us as we made edits to the menu. They even incorporated our family-caught salmon into the menu! Then, the night of our welcome dinner we had insane rain, and the Vermont Farms team were such troopers bringing food back and forth across our muddy field to the house. The following day at the wedding, they were energetic, so kind, and overall just blew us away. Our guests could not stop raving about the food all weekend! Thank you again to Vermont Farms Catering for making our wedding weekend better than we could have imagined.

ry. You will not regret hiring this very professional caterer!

cially recommend the tartar station - insanely good. The buffet dinner was definitely worth waiting for however - every single item was delicious. We only wished afterward that we were hungrier to eat more! The cake and pie bar were also much praised by our guests. There was plenty of food for all our guests. We were also thrilled with the bar services and appreciated their help beforehand choosing local VT beers. However, as grateful as we were for the food, we were completely blown away by how far above and beyond they went to help us out with the organization, set up and tear down of the venue. They brought all the linens and glassware for us and set these up beautifully after setting up the tables in our barn-like venue. Throughout the event, they were constantly setting up areas like the cocktail hour and tearing them down to set up something else, like the buffet. In among all of this, they also managed to bring us food and drinks during the cocktail hour when we were taking pictures. They then tore down some of the tables so we could have an area to dance after dinner and plated extra food for us for afterward. They did this all so smoothly I don't think our guests really realized anything was happening. We absolutely cannot recommend VT Farms Catering enough.

told locals we were getting married there, the first thing out of people's mouth that were lucky to attend a wedding there, said how amazing the food was and boy were they right. I can't tell you the number of guests that came up to us raving about the food and how tender and delicious everything was. You don't expect to have the best meal of your life at a wedding ,but that is exactly what you get when you get married at Riverside Farms and have your caterers be Kevin and Katie from Vermont Farms Catering. Lovely married couple, such as joy to be around and their love of food and drinks shines through the ceremony and everything they touch is made with love and prepared perfectly. For 130 people, you would expect things to be cold or to be mass produced. But instead, it felt and tasted like everything made, was made just for you. I will never forget this day and we are so happy that our fondest memories of the day will be the compliments from our guests about the food. Highly recommended.

Hour, and Reception (with desserts) – as well as the plethora of guests that visited their adorable and beautiful General Store throughout the weekend! We continue to receive compliments that it was the best food they have had at a wedding and many have even said it was the best meals they have ever had! Before the big weekend, we spoke to 2-3 couples who worked with VFC and they all RAVED about the food as well as their experience working with Katie and Kevin. VFC pays impeccable attention to the details and presentation of everything they serve. Everything they offered was a visual delight and tasted even better than it looked. They listened to all of our ideas and feedback. They went out of their way to get to know us as a couple which, in turn, translated into a truly personalized catering experience. From the beginning, they made it clear that they wanted our wedding to be filled with the foods and drinks that we loved and helped us to create our perfect menu. We knew they had an extremely busy schedule – especially since our wedding was during prime wedding season – however they were dedicated to making your day perfect and were always available to answer questions or offer suggestions/advice – and their staff was extremely professional, attentive and friendly. I never had to wait or look for someone if I needed something or had a question, someone was always right there, ready and eager to help in any way. Our guests were very impressed with their ability to tend to every need and request. I can’t say enough about VFC but can PROMISE you, you won’t be disappointed! They made our wedding weekend one we will NEVER forget!!!

VT Farms, our venue wouldnt "approve" of our catering choice due to some insane personal business strategies, and we decided to lose our deposit on that original venue, and found a new venue so that we could keep VT Farms as our caterer! Thats how amazing they are!! Our guests RAVED about the food, and also on the waitstaff-how polite and friendly they all were! if there were 10 stars to give, I'd without a doubt give VT Farms all ten.

tasted, but that it so perfectly captured the essence and atmosphere of the fall wedding that we envisioned. While we were thrilled at the menu Kevin created, we were preparing ourselves for a slight letdown in quality when it came time for Kevin to turn those 3 or 4 servings into 130 on our big day. It just didn't seem possible to recreate that on such a large scale. We have never been so happy to be so wrong! The food was the highlight for all our guests, and the presentation, temperature, taste, texture, everything was exactly the same as our original tasting. Kevin is a magician or a wizard. On the service side Katie and her staff were spectacular as well. They were somehow everywhere and yet nowhere, meeting every guests need while still blending in to the background of the event and never missing a beat. I would recommend VFC to any couple, anywhere, no matter what their vision or design. I promise you VFC will be the best decision you make in regards to your wedding (after your choice of spouse, of course!). -Brian

isine handpicking delicious morsels to create phenomenal hors d'oeuvres & full course meals I believe are worthy of a “Michelin” rating! It is one thing to find the freshest & most local produce & proteins ... but the true testament to their world-class artistry is the flavors their creations wield. Whatever your event may be the magic creations of their catering & cuisine transport you & your guests to a fantasy world of flavor!!! Professionalism is unparalleled & the attention to detail unsurpassed. I have spent years in luxury hospitality all over the world & rate Vermont Farms Catering as the best in business I have had the pleasure of enjoying- trust me they provide everything you could wish for & more!

sts, listened to our wishes and worked well with both bride and groom. As the mother of the bride, I could not have asked for more.

ow good the food was. The food was amazingly delicious, plentiful, beautiful to look at, and different from boring options I have seen elsewhere. Kevin and Katie will help work with any food allergies or restrictions to make the most wonderful menu you could dream of! I could not have been any happier. Thank you so much for the amazing food, service, and job you did!!!!! If you are looking for a caterer - HIRE THESE PEOPLE NOW!!!

everyone raved about the food. The homemade marshmallows for s'mores were a huge hit and are the talk of the town! We would highly recommend Vermont Farms Catering!

ill not be disappointed with Kevin and Katie!

off without a hitch. I'd recommend them very highly for anyone looking for catering services in Vermont.

r our Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Party, post-ceremony Cocktail Hour, and Wedding Reception, to the wine/beer/cocktail pairings for the whole weekend, and finally to the serving... they were *great* partners . The tasting was extensive and beyond delicious -- Katie and Kevin prepared a wide range of tasty options that spanned courses/forms/formats/etc. Our families enjoyed the tasting so much that our only concern was how Katie and Kevin would scale our 6-person tasting for a wedding with over 200 guests. On the wedding weekend, execution was flawless and the food was spectacular. Everyone raved about the food, and the Vermont flare and farm-fresh ingredients Katie and Kevin added to the menu made the wedding even more special. We and our families were beyond thrilled and wish we could do it all over again!

ious!! All of our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was at our wedding and how great the caterers were. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

xecution at both our welcome party and reception. The food at the tasting was so good that I was concerned they wouldn't be able to replicate it at scale, needless to say my concerns were unwarranted because they nailed it! Our photographer does 30+ weddings per year and here's a direct quote from his Facebook page, "the food was hands down the best wedding food I've ever had." They best thing about Katie and Kevin is that although they are super talented they never try to push their menu on you, they instead strive to create the menu you want and make it great. There is also a lot of personal touch, we wanted to do popcorn at the end of the night so they whipped up truffle oil and parmesan popcorn that people couldn't stop talking about the next day. We didn't want a big wedding cake so we sent Katie a few pics of what we were looking for and she re-created it perfectly. We wanted to serve Heady Topper at the welcome party and reception, which is a pretty tall order by the way, but Kevin personally drove up to Alchemist Brewery and made it happen. Moral of the story is if you're having a wedding in Vermont then Katie and Kevin are your team, don't bother looking for anyone else.

C. And then our friends who got married told us the people who ran the company were from NYC and it all made sense. A huge bonus having these guys on board for a rustic venue in a small town.

absolutely delicious -- we served organic sirloin steak and a New England clambake, and have lost track of how many guests told us afterwards it was the best meal they've ever had at a wedding. Every detail from the specific craft beers we requested to the serving style was meticulous. In addition to the incredible food, were were so impressed and appreciative of their professionalism, skill and flexibility... our reception was at an actual rented barn (not a professional venue) and Kevin and Katie helped us literally create a kitchen and working bar from scratch, serving 100+ guests as though it was a five-star restaurant. Their servers and bartenders were fantastic as well and added to the joyous atmosphere and made our wedding fun and memorable.

t for a tasting, I believe it was more just to reassure us that we were in VERY good hands than for us to pick what we wanted, since everything they served was so spot on and delicious--from the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to dinner options to wine and specialty cocktails (created specially for us by Katie). My parents, who are serious NYC foodies, were totally blown away. All of the guests raved about the food and cocktails. Presentation was beautiful. Even the BBQ comfort food served Friday and breakfast sandwiches on Sunday were amazing. Homemade marshmallows in multiple flavors for gourmet s'mores were a huge hit on Friday night! Their prices were very reasonable, in all dealings they were totally up-front and transparent, and they were a pleasure to work with. All in all, these guys are the best and I'm so happy I was able to work with them for my wedding.

as for the couple's dream-come-true wedding. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an escape/mini-vacation wedding, but without having to compromise on quality while going off-the-grid a bit - not only did it feel like a well-choreographed affair run by a seasoned team, it felt like every moment was orchestrated to the couple's every desire. Bravo!

t because of Vermont Farms Catering and the tasting they provided. Kevin's food is current, fun, flavorful and wonderfully and professionally executed.Katie leads a friendly, competent, confident and engaging staff. Our rehearsal dinner and reception the following night were so far above and beyond our already high expectations. Honestly so many of our guests commented at our wedding and continue to email and message us the food at our reception was not only the best wedding food they have ever had but several guests commented it was one of the best meals they have had anywhere, period. I cannot give Vermont Farms Catering a big enough endorsement. Simply the best.

dding coordinator was a lifesaver! We really do have amazing friends and family, but your staff was equally as amazing! We hope to find our way back to your restaurant some time this fall/winter with some friends! THANK YOU, Lauren + Scott

Would definitely recommend them and I look forward to going back when we are back in Vermont. Thank you again!!

of the best they've had. From cocktail hour through dinner, all the food was amazing, so yummy and organic! Their locally grown produce is hard to beat!!

'made from scratch' vibe as well...Totally unexpected at a wedding...and the s'mores station... all the marshmallows were totally and outrageously good with fun flavours that they made for the weekend. Deb and Dave had such an incredible weekend.

're planning a wedding, or any event for that matter, in the area, you want Katie and Kevin from Vermont Farms Catering to be there! From our first meeting with Katie to our farewell brunch the morning after our wedding, everything was perfect and stress free. For our food tasting, Katie had listened to everything that we had mentioned during our first meeting and Kevin cooked everything to perfection! After our food tasting, we had dinner at their restaurant, The Backroom. If you're ever in the Pittsfield/Killington area, you have to have dinner there. Be sure to make reservations, they book up quickly! Our wedding was an intimate affair, 21 guests, immediate family only, so our rehearsal dinner wasn't traditional. Instead we ordered pizza and salad from the General Store and it was delicious! The food and drink on our wedding day was unreal. Every guest said that it was the best meal that they had ever had. The first course was a butternut squash soup, topped with toasted sunflower seeds, scallions and pumpkin seed oil, it was so delicious I had to stop myself from licking the bowl clean (I'm sure it would have been a great photo-op, but wouldn't have been very ladylike). The main course was a filet that was cooked to perfection, served with sauteed greens and garlic and rosemary crushed potatoes. I can't find the right words to describe how delicious this was. Katie and Kevin did bake us a small cake that we used for the traditional cake cutting, but the dessert for our guests was a pie bar, Pumpkin, Apple and Pecan. Again, all the guests raved that these pies were the best they have ever eaten. The night was topped off with a late night snack of cider donuts. I was standing with my back to the dessert table when these arrived and could smell them before they were placed down. These tasted just as delicious as they smelled and the table was swarming with guests within seconds. The morning after our ceremony, Katie and Kevin catered a farewell brunch that included an omelet station, hash browns, scrambled eggs and waffles. Again, the food was amazing, the made to order omelets were a hit!

n to every single detail and made sure everyone was taken care of. People have been commenting non stop on how its not only the best wedding food they have ever had, but a once in a lifetime experience and some of the best food they have ever tasted. We were thrilled with the presentation, the quality of the food and the entire package that they provided of a farm to table meal. Fresh, local and excellent. Not only was the food delicious, but they catered to the needs of guests with special requests. My good friend who is gluten free/dairy free and had requested a special meal said its the best she has eaten in months. Katie and Kevin do not only provide an amazing catering experience, but they go above and beyond to make the whole entire presentation of food a beautiful part of the wedding. There are no words to really describe the unique gift that they bring to the table (no pun intended) but they did not just cater our wedding, they really made the wedding special. I feel as though after planning the wedding and searching high and low for good service and vendors who have passion for what they do and CARE about what product/service they provide it wasn't just a breath of fresh air but I felt like we won the lottery when we met Katie and Kevin because I feel their passion came through on every plate they made. Thank you so much for being such an integral part of the wedding and we can't wait to see you at The Backroom. --- Colleen and Alex

D all of your menu items... from rehearsal dinner... to cocktail hour and reception... to Sunday brunch!!! Well done... well done!!!!! - Mother of the Bride!

ursday evening, thru the Friday rehearsal dinner and welcome event, Saturday's wonderful wedding day reception and then Sunday closing brunch, all the food was well themed, delicious, prepared perfectly with ample portions and served beautifully and professionally. We could not be happier with the excellent job done by Katie & Kevin and highly recommend Vermont Farms Catering. Our friends and family continue to comment to us on how delicious the food was throughout the wedding weekend. Thank you Katie & Kevin! Tony & Janice DiBona

ng scale. Fantastic.

etty high standards and we absolutely loved the food. We had a meat and cheese station that was gorgeous and super tasty followed a buffet-style dinner. The 'House Made Gnocchi with Fresh Corn and Summer Truffle' was the hit of the evening. The staff was super friendly and happy and everyone that attended was impressed all around. We hired these guys based on reading their bios here: http://www.vermontfarmscatering.com/our-team/. Given their pedigrees I wasn't surprised that they could deliver but they exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended.

did manage to get a taste of most everything, even if it was a but rushed. The food was out of this world delicious, and so far from your typical wedding food. We got compliments the entire weekend about how good the food was! On Friday it was "this is the best potato salad I've ever eaten!", and on Saturday it was more of the same - just the BEST wedding, more on par with a great restaurant experience. I said that fish tacos were my favorite - I managed to have a few during the cocktail hour, and they were amazing! We were welcomed to the reception dinner with an heirloom tomato and buratta salad that was so full of flavors, while being light and refreshing on a hot July day. The meat was cooked perfectly, the gnocchi was the best I've ever had, and even the chicken (which can be borderline boring at a wedding) got rave reviews. Everything was just as good if not better than in our original tasting. The use of beautiful, fresh, in-season ingredients shined through so well. The highlight for me at the brunch were the bagels (GIMME CARBS) and the green juice - what more could a bride want the night after the wedding madness?! Katie and Kevin were wonderful to work with, listened to any favorite foods and food preferences, and provided us with perfect, simple food that was expertly prepared and presented. I can't thank them enough! Highly recommend!

nning into our trips to get ready for the wedding - they were always more than willing to work with our crazy schedules and were so accommodating. We did a tasting and literally changed NOTHING, we had no suggestions - we loved every bite. They even set up a special time for my fiance to choose the beer we'd have on draft that night - he is a big craft beer guy, so this really meant a lot to him. They also went above-and-beyond to make some special requests from us happen - including getting cider on tap (my favorite!), gluten free items for my mom, and other details that really we're so sweet and more than accommodating. From the appetizers during cocktail hour (which included a slider bar, gourmet mac n' cheese bites and so many other amazing things) to the incredible tomato bisque with grilled cheese croutons to the diverse and delicious dinner options - we could not have been more excited about the food. We are food people - so having amazing food was one of our top priorities. Everything was so delicious and very "un wedding" (and I mean that in the best way possible). I'm a wedding photographer, so I eat a LOT of wedding food - this didn't feel like wedding food, this felt like we were sitting down in an upscale restaurant for a dinner-for-two. Everyone still raves about the food! It was just THAT GOOD! We also decided not to go out for our rehearsal dinner either - we loved our tasting so much that we changed our plans and had our rehearsal catered by Kevin and Katie as well - and it was another home run of BBQ (pulled pork and all the fixings!) Their staff was amazing - so welcoming and flexible. Katie and Kevin themselves are warm, welcoming and so much fun! They were a true pleasure to work with and did an incredible job. We cannot recommend them enough -you won't be disappointed!

atever we asked for, they made happen and gave us great suggestions along the way. The pig roast for the rehearsal dinner was incredible. In welcoming people to Riverside Farm, we offered a s'mores bar. Not your typical s'mores. They actually made their own marshmallows in multiple flavors. Awesome. Each appetizer at the cocktail party was better than the next, and they didn't just have everything ready to go, but read our guests and tailored the apps to what people really wanted more of. They helped us create fun his and hers signature cocktails too, and even wrote out the drinks on a chalkboard sign - such a great detail. The plated dinners were, of course, amazing, too. As was the service throughout the entire weekend. It was flawless. Highly recommend.
