If you’re planning a wedding or special event at Hyla Brook Estate in Derry, New Hampshire, choosing a caterer that complements the venue’s style can make all the difference.
Recently, the Fireside Catering team had the opportunity to cater Hyla Brook Estate’s Open House, where the theme celebrated the charm of a local farmer’s market. It was the perfect fit for our culinary team because farm-to-table isn’t just a trend for us, it’s part of who we are. Click HERE to see a video clip of the event.
A Menu Inspired by Our Own Farm
One of the things that makes Fireside Catering unique is our connection to Gibbet Hill Farm in Groton, Massachusetts. Throughout the growing season, our chefs incorporate produce grown on our own farm into seasonal menus, creating dishes that reflect New England’s freshest ingredients.
For the Hyla Brook Estate Open House, guests enjoyed a menu that highlighted those seasonal flavors, including:
- A Gibbet Hill Farm vegetable garden served in roasted garlic hummus with “olive dirt”
- A Walking Spreads & Breads Station featuring beet hummus, pimento cheese, and roasted scallion labneh
- Herb Box Chicken
- Spring & Summer Caesar Salad
- Seared Crab Cakes with Farm Slaw
- Passed hors d’oeuvres
- Dessert jars with gluten-free and vegan options
Many of the vegetables and herbs featured throughout the menu were harvested from Gibbet Hill Farm, giving guests a genuine taste of our farm-to-table philosophy.
Why Farm-to-Table Matters
Fresh ingredients don’t just taste better, they tell a story. When ingredients are harvested from our own farm and thoughtfully prepared by our chefs, couples know exactly where many of their menu items begin. It’s an experience that reflects New England’s seasons while creating a memorable meal for family and friends.
Whether it’s colorful vegetables, fresh herbs, edible flowers, or seasonal garnishes, our culinary team enjoys creating menus that celebrate what’s growing throughout the year.
