A very busy day getting staged in the kitchen today!
We had a few inquiring minds curious about our offering for the Backyard Farm Black Box this week, and of course we are more than happy to share! Our VIP list has grown, and yet again, we sold out very quickly. Moving forward, we will be releasing the menus at 2pm on Mondays for the weeks’ pre-orders, and it will continue as a “first come, first serve” basis. We are so thrilled to have so much interest in what we are doing as we continue our efforts in offering quality minded, handcrafted Backyard Farm goodness to our clients. As we still await the confirmed details and regulations regarding the re-opening process, we will continue our Black Box program as we assess the necessary adjustments to allow guests back into our private dining room for private culinary demonstrations and workshops. We can’t wait!
In the interim, here is a menu for this weeks Black Box, sold out in 20 minutes! Below is a photo of the Porcini-Ricotta Gnocchi, and the end result of an afternoon making the most epic Duck Fat tortillas in the universe- Mikkels’ tried and true recipe…….
Should you be interested in a future Black Box meal kit, send us an email, and we will put you on the VIP list.

We will keep you posted on the next opportunity to purchase a “Black Box”, as we move forward. Likely posted on the website “News” forum, and linked onto our social media pages.
Please note that we will not be allowing pre- orders due to our limited availability. Moving forward, we will be sending the menu at 2PM on Mondays(alternating weeks), and will be confirming orders on a first come-first serve basis. If you are on “The List”(which you are), you will get first right of refusal. The list is now getting pretty long, and we anticipate that we will sell out before the need to put it public, other than to intrigue those who may not be on the list, and showcase our efforts to continue cooking thoughtfully sourced and prepared food for those who appreciate it.
