Our Food Philosophy
Everything we serve at our cafe is made in-house, using real ingredients and methods taught to us by our parents and grandparents. Food shouldn't be removed from a freezer and reheated or pre-made in a factory. It should be made by hand, using raw ingredients and served with care.
That's how we do it here. Fresh. Scratch-made. Real food.
It means your plate may take a little more time to prepare, but you are worth the care, and real food is worth the wait. Please note that we will occasionally sell out.
We appreciate everyone who shares this philosophy with us. If that's you, you'll fit right in at Esters Farm Cafe.
We hope to see you soon!
Our Story
Esters Farm began as a hobby in 2006. We had moved home to Kentucky after living in North Carolina for several years. I was a guide with the National Park Service and helped my parents run their small country store just outside of Glasgow, Ky. I planted a small garden and began baking sourdough each week to share with family and friends.
I enrolled in the Kentucky Proud program joined the Bounty of the Barrens Farmers Market, sold my sourdough and other baked goods, and then joined a second farmers market in Bowling Green. I used local ingredients that I grew in our garden but couldn't produce enough to supply my own, so I established relationships with local farmers and partnered with them to ensure I had access to seasonal, local produce.
In 2013, we purchased my childhood home, a 1908 farmhouse. While renovating our home, we expanded our garden, doubled our blackberry patch, and added a small orchard. I expanded my products too, adding homemade chicken salad, pimento cheese, and hummus. I also started catering local events, parties, and weddings.
In November 2016, my wife, Susan, and I bought my parents' old country store and converted it into a cafe. Esters Farm Cafe & Catering opened in January 2017, specializing in comfort food always made in-house . . . sometimes with a twist.
During the spring of 2025, we began construction on a new cafe location in Park City, about 12 miles west of Glasgow. We officially opened that fall, offering the high-quality food and service we are known for.
Our new cafe is nestled on a hillside and offers a cozy space for everyone to enjoy a good meal and visit with family and friends. It also features a large wraparound porch that's accessible year-round.
Esters Farm has evolved over the years, but one thing remains the same: our commitment to providing great-tasting, quality food in a friendly, welcoming space. We make everything in-house and serve it fresh. It takes a little more time, but you can taste the difference.
We hope to see you soon at Esters Farm Cafe!
