About

Food.. herbs & flowers.

The Culinary Farm is more than just a business—it’s a passion-driven venture dedicated to creating exceptional food experiences. We specialize in artisanal baked goods, private chef and catering services, a food truck, a whimsical cotton candy stand; and now our train car diner located in Mansfield MO!

Every dish and dessert we create is rooted in a love for bold flavors, creative presentation, and the joy that food brings to people’s lives.

How It All Began

Founded by Chef Amber, The Culinary Farm is the culmination of years of experience in the food industry. From owning and operating a food truck, catering company, and even a night club, Amber has spent her career perfecting the art of hospitality. After stepping away for a time, she felt the undeniable pull to return to her roots—this time with a refined focus on small-batch, handcrafted offerings.

Starting under Missouri’s cottage food law, The Culinary Farm was born out of a desire to create something meaningful: a place where gourmet meets comfort, where every bite tells a story, and where food is not just served but celebrated. With an emphasis on quality, creativity, and a deep love for the craft, Chef Amber continues to elevate catering and baking with her signature touch.

But The Culinary Farm is more than just food—it’s a vision for the future. A portion of our proceeds will go toward launching an herb and flower farm as well as a farm rescue initiative, a dream close to our hearts. Through this journey, we hope to bring people together over incredible food while working toward something even bigger: home grown ingredients, a place of care, sustainability, and second chances.

Join us on this journey—where every meal is made with passion, and every bite supports a greater purpose.
