When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
If there’s one thing the Midwest does right every single time (and honestly, there’s way more than one thing, but you get the gist of it), it’s the art of comfort food. Seriously, just about any mom-and-pop stop you’ll find in Indiana is full of all the classics, like pancakes and fried chicken and steaks and all that jazz. One of our favorite combinations is farm-to-table + comfort food, and we found an amazing rustic barn restaurant in Indiana that’s so much more than just comfort food. It’s an experience! Come check out Fair Oaks Farms for the menu – but stick around for everything else. When it comes to some of the most unique restaurants in IN, this one’s got everything you could ever hope for and then some.
First and foremost, let us just say: this menu is off the hook.
There is nothing on it that you can possibly go wrong with. This means that deciding what you want during your first time here might be a little challenging - but we have faith in you.
Everything is made with ingredients grown and/or raised right here on the farm.
As a result, you get some of the freshest, most absurdly flavorful food you'll ever have the privilege of eating. There is also a wonderful spirits and libations menu, with wines, beer, and more to pair with your meal.

The atmosphere and overall vibe are rustic and elegant, perfect for a date night or even a big event!
Fair Oaks Farms does events the right way, making it the ideal destination for a country wedding or anniversary celebration. Or, of course, you can always fly solo - it's an excellent option for a little self-care. What's better than comfort food for self-care? We don't know, but we don't think there's such a thing.
It's a whole experience with fun stuff for the entire family to do. There are tours and adventures, workshops and classes, egg hunts in the spring, and so much more.
Learn about the entire process of farming and agriculture in interesting and informative tours.
On some of the tours, you'll even be able to visit the pigs and cows that make this amazing operation possible. You'll be pleased to see the conditions they are raised in; they are loved during their lives here, and it shows through in the quality of products this incredible farm produces.
So come on out to Fair Oaks Farms for the ridiculously amazing country cookin'...
...but linger a while - there's a lot to see and do, and you won't want to miss anything.
