We love preparing barbecued meals for our friends and customers on the farm. Mike is the master chef and specializes in barbecuing outside on a grill or smoker. We’ve used many different “custom” grill designs and have settled on one that is permanently fixed to a trailer that you pull behind the pickup truck.

Cooking outside gives meat a flavor that cannot be duplicated, and eating outside gives people an appetite that can’t be explained. Combine good food with a good appetite and you have the makings for a great event. Join us around the grill to take in the delicious aroma and discuss the finer points of basting and preparation.

Following are the choices that we offer to you and your company or family. If you have special requirements, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Barbecued Chicken Dinner:

This has become our specialty. We serve our free-range chicken, quartered and cooked over charcoal with our special oil & vinegar based barbecue sauce. We typically serve our barbecued beans, cooked in a cast iron pot over an open flame.

Your meal includes a quarter chicken (dark or light meat), coleslaw (or potato salad), baked beans, deviled eggs, a homemade roll and cake or pie for dessert. Soft drinks, suntea, juice and/or water are provided.

*Prices start at $10.00 per person.
We require a minimum of 15 persons and can serve up to 100 people.

Whole Hog Barbecue:

Perhaps the most fun of all, the whole hog barbecue is a favorite of the Hubbard family. We cook the hog slowly over the course of several hours to ensure the tenderness and doneness. It will be on to cook in the wee hours of the morning, so it’s sizzling when you arrive for the day.

Your meal includes barbecued pork, coleslaw (or potato salad), baked beans, deviled eggs, a homemade roll and cake or pie for dessert. Soft drinks, homemade sun tea, juice and/or water are provided.

*Prices start at $12.00 per person.
We require a minimum of 15 persons and can serve up to 100 people. We will barbecue hams or shoulders (in lieu of the whole hog) for smaller party sizes.

Beef Barbecue:

Serving our own grass finished beef, we’ll barbecue whole, marinated briskets, served chopped or sliced.

This meal includes beef barbecue on a roll, coleslaw (or potato salad), baked beans, deviled eggs and cake or pie for dessert. Soft drinks, homemade sun tea, juice and/or water are provided.

*Prices start at $12.00 per person.
We require a minimum of 15 persons and can serve up to 100 people.

Old Fashioned Weenie Roast:

Do you know about old fashioned “weenie roasts”? The weenie roast is a tradition in Burke’s Garden and one you don’t want to miss. Picnickers ride the wagon up to the bon fire site, starting in the late afternoon with the opportunity to linger until just before dusk, to roast weenies and marshmallows around the fire. Former Girl Scouts will remember s’mores. That’s where you place your toasted marshmallow on a chocolate bar, sandwiched between graham crackers. It’s the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Your meal includes “weenies” made from Garden Mountain Farm’s custom sausages (from our own pastured pork we’ll offer bratwurst, chorizo, Italian and/or kielbasa) and buns, with “fixin’s,” deviled eggs, baked beans, potato chips and s’mores. Soft drinks, suntea, juice and/or water are provided.

*Prices start at $10.00 per person.
We require a minimum group of 15, to a maximum of 30 people for a weenie roast.

*Pricing “per person” for meals will be based on the number of guests served and will vary with your requirements. Prices quoted are minimums and firm quotes will be provided upon individual inquiry.

Farm Entertainment:

Generally available at any time, “farm entertainment” includes a guided tour of the farm, demonstrating our sustainable farming methods, and a tractor pulled hay wagon ride.

We have horseshoes, badminton, and volleyball available and you are welcomed to bring along your bats, balls and gloves and play a little old fashioned baseball out in the pasture.
