New Hours & Menu Coming Soon

I want to start off by saying how grateful we are for all the support we have been getting while opening the diner and event space… it’s so moving to see so many care. We are going to make some adjustments to our dining hours so it’s more successful for our growing business as well as so we can accommodate our growing faith. Some don’t know, almost 4 years ago I gave up alcohol and gave my life to God. At the time I owned and was operating 4 businesses by myself as a single mom. One of those businesses being a bar and night club. With the extreme stress that came with my life, I gave into the spirits more than I did to God. I had an experience that changed my life and I decided to leave alcohol in the past, give myself to him and close down my bar. The things you see and have to survive in that industry is honestly something else. Soon after I closed the bar and my other brick and mortar, I went fully mobile and decided that the life I was living was no longer for me.

Here we are almost 4 years later and I could have never imagined I’d be here, deep in the Ozarks.. opening another restaurant inside a train car. But this time is different and I know it deep in my soul. I prayed to God for this opportunity, prayed to him when I received it and continue to pray it works out every day. Some don’t understand just how hard this industry is, especially for a single mother. It’s almost unheard of for someone like me to do what I’m doing.

After many down falls trying to get this restaurant open, we have finally crossed that threshold, but still with challenges ahead.

First and foremost, brunch hours are not working out. I am losing money and I have been here before, same menu, same food loss, same predicament. So we are switching it up. Second, my employees have dedicated their Sundays to this restaurant when they are missing out on their devotions to God and missing their Sunday worship.

I myself have not been to church in so long I can not remember the last time. For a long time, I thought I wasn’t worthy of such a commitment to God or community as I had never even learned about God or Jesus Christ. It wasn’t until this year that I realized I didn’t even know who Jesus was. Turns out he’s just like you and me. So I have decided to join a church and start devoting my Sundays to our Creator also. Saturdays and Sundays we will no longer do brunch hours. Our new hours are Tuesday- Friday 11am to 8pm and Saturday 11am to 3pm.. hosting events on Saturday nights. Off on Sunday and Monday until warmer season comes. This week we will be open Wed- Friday and Saturday. With our Polar Express event starting Saturday Dec 6th. Saturday we will be working day and night.. so Sunday I decided we are going to be closed. That’s a day of rest and rejuvenation.

We are also expanding the menu this week.. Cajun shrimp boils, cheesecakes and new wing flavors.

We appreciate your understanding. There will always be something new at The Culinary Farm. This spring we go farm to table with a fresh menu and extensive curated chef experiences. We are really excited for the future and what it holds for this business.

Thank you again and stay warm friends.
