The Saltwell Experience is a prix fixe farm-to-table tasting menu featuring eight courses inspired by the seasons, local ingredients, neighboring farmers, and foraged foods. Dinner service lasts approximately 3-4 hours and begins with three starter courses (often family-style) while guests settle in.
The historic farmhouse and dining area are nestled in a shady walnut tree grove, surrounded by chickens, guineas, cats, geese, and more with the sound of goats and cows nearby—an immersive gathering that is uniquely Saltwell but should also be noted for those who are sensitive to heat, insects, animals, and native plants that are characteristic of a rural Midwestern landscape.
At Saltwell Farm Kitchen, we celebrate our local resources, farmers, and makers. Menus are not available until service begins, as we edit and add ingredients according to availability—some ingredients are foraged just hours before seating starts.

***Our top priority is to make sure our guests are safe.With a small kitchen and limited staff, our menu is fixed and absolute.During the months of May through September, we dine outdoors. Guests have the opportunity to explore and relax under the stars near the Potting Shed, culinary gardens, and walnut grove.October through April, we dine inside our winter parlor. Cozy up around the antique wood-burning stove in a candle-lit dining room complete with a baby grand piano, a heated covered patio, and a full bar.
