Ayrshire Farm

We first visited Ayrshire Farm in 2009 and we’ve been back many times since. Our friends at Ayrshire raise many rare breeds of livestock including White Park cattle and Gloucester Old Spot pigs, plus heirloom fruits and vegetables — all on acres and acres of lush green rolling hills. From the table, it’s not unusual to catch a few shire horses galloping past or wild turkeys rummaging through the brush. Guest chef Tarver King is an old friend of ours, too — he first helmed the field kitchen in 2012. During the course of his culinary career, he’s earned attention from Bon Appetit, James Beard and Esquire. He also makes Norse mythology-inspired charcoal drawings with homemade charcoal. We’re excited to catch up and see what he’s been up to.
