Looking to give your wedding a local, sustainable touch? Farm-to-table is not just a trend; it’s a way to ensure your celebration is both delicious and eco-friendly. By sourcing ingredients from local Kansas City farms and artisans, you’ll be supporting the community while treating your guests to fresh, flavorful meals.
Here’s how to source local for your farm-to-table Kansas City wedding:
Partner with Farm-to-Table Caterers
Kansas City is home to several caterers who specialize in creating locally sourced menus.
Clay and Fire KC is a fantastic choice, especially for couples looking for Mediterranean-inspired dishes. This restaurant prides itself on cooking over an open flame and using locally sourced ingredients. Their attention to flavor and sustainability makes them a standout option for weddings. Imagine your guests savoring fresh, locally raised meats and vegetables while celebrating your big day!
Source Local Drinks
You’ll want local drinks to pair with that farm-to-table meal, right? Kansas City has you covered with craft breweries, wineries, and distilleries. The Burning Barrel is a great place to start. As a licensed farm winery and distillery, they offer seltzers, ciders, sakes, fruit wines and other naturally fermented beverages. All of their beverages are made with filtered, ionized water and organically-grown ingredients.
If you’re more into wine or beer, Kansas City offers amazing local options, too. Look into Amigoni Urban Winery or Boulevard Brewing Company to keep your wedding drinks refreshingly local.
Decorate with Local Florals
Farm-to-table isn’t just for your menu—your florals can be locally sourced too! Belfiore Farm is passionate about providing the freshest, most beautiful blooms while prioritizing local and American-grown flowers. From April to October, most of their flowers are sourced right here in Kansas City or from trusted growers in the bi-state area. Although they sometimes supplement with foreign-grown products, Belfiore Farm is committed to sustainability and seasonality. You won’t see out-of-season sunflowers shipped from overseas at your winter wedding! By choosing Belfiore Farm, you’re ensuring gorgeous, eco-friendly arrangements that align with your farm-to-table wedding vision.
Take Advantage of Farm Venues
Why stop at just the food and decor? Kansas City is full of gorgeous farm venues that complement the farm-to-table concept perfectly. Consider venues like The Farmhouse KC for a true rustic, yet elegant, vibe. A farm venue adds that extra touch of authenticity, making your farm-to-table wedding a full-circle experience.
