Private Chef Dinners
Our private chef dinners are created for small groups who want to gather well — around beautiful food, a thoughtfully set table, and an intimate, unhurried evening that feels truly one of a kind.
Each dinner features a scratch-made, multi-course menu created specifically for your group and the season. We cook with high-quality ingredients, including produce, herbs, and other ingredients grown on our regenerative farm, alongside thoughtfully sourced ingredients from nearby farmers and producers.
We take care of the cooking, table setting, service, and thoughtful details, so you can settle in, linger over the meal, and fully enjoy the evening with your guests.
Ideal for:
-
birthdays & anniversaries
-
family gatherings
-
intimate celebrations
-
retreat evenings
-
lake weekends & house gatherings
-
dinner parties with friends
-
special meals for visiting guests

Your Hosts
We’re Olivia and Erik, farmers and co-owners of Fern Hollow Farm and Provecho Farm Kitchen. For more than a decade, we’ve been growing food, cooking, and creating gatherings at Fern Hollow, and that experience shapes everything we bring to our private dinners — wherever they take place.
Olivia leads the kitchen, preparing each meal from scratch and bringing together the ingredients, flavors, and details of the menu. Erik brings his love of people and hospitality to the table, welcoming guests, serving each course, and tending to the flow of the evening.
Together, we’re personally involved in every dinner from beginning to end, bringing the food, the farm, and the hospitality together to create an experience that feels elevated, personal, and thoughtfully cared for.
What's Included
Every dinner is a full-service experience, designed to take the work out of hosting so you can settle in and enjoy the evening with your guests.
We provide:
-
A custom seasonal menu of 4+ courses, prepared from scratch
-
Thoughtfully sourced ingredients from our farm and nearby producers
-
Onsite chef preparation using our mobile kitchen

-
Water service throughout the meal
-

The experience typically unfolds over 2–2.5 hours, with time to settle in, linger over each course, and enjoy the evening at an unhurried pace.
Menus Inspired by the Season
Every private dinner begins with a conversation about your gathering, your guests, and your preferences. From there, we create a custom multi-course menu around what suits the occasion and the best seasonal ingredients from our farm and nearby producers.
The menus below are examples from past private dinners — they offer a glimpse into our cooking and the kinds of dishes and flavors we love to create. See something you like? We’re happy to use past menus as inspiration and adapt them for your own dinner.
We’re happy to accommodate dietary needs and preferences whenever possible and with advance notice.
Pricing
Private chef dinners begin at $125 per person for a four-course menu, with additional courses and enhancements available.
We typically host groups of 8–20 guests. Intimate gatherings of fewer than 8 guests are available with a $1,000 minimum.
