Farm to table at Black Bird Farm

Posted by Paula Scott on June 5, 2023 - 6:00am

A Columbus Grove business that also serves as a wedding venue is expanding their offerings to include a special farm-to-table dinner series. Black Bird Farm, located at  20875 Road 14, is extending an invitation for five monthly dinners with select guest chefs. So you could actually call it a farm-to-farm opportunity.

The setting is a 113-year-old barn that has served as a venue for six years and is owned and operated by mother-daughter team Deb Rhodes of Columbus Grove and Nicki Bybee of Bluffton.

The meals will feature local produce, wineries and breweries, and musicians. Manager Kathy Soper calls it something new: a new place and new experience. The setting in a historical barn is  “Intimate and informal.”

On June 22, Cork and Knife Provisions will serve a “Strawberry Patch” dinner with bread and desserts from The Baking Company of Findlay and wine and beer pairings from Rose Acres and 1820 BrewWerks.

For over ten years, the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District has been selling rain barrels to those who wish to take advantage of this free source of water. This collected water can be used to hydrate gardens, lawns, wash off equipment, and more.
