Commercial Kitchen FAQs
Are all products made in house and who came up with the recipes?
All products are made in house except for the olives and olive oil that comes from our farming partners from The West Bank. Some of the original recipes, like the pickles and the sour kraut are Owner’s, Sweede McBrooms. Chef, Luke Volosin, has put his own spin on the current recipes or has made them specially for Deer Park Farm.
Do any of the products contain preservatives?
The Kitchen at Deer Park Farm does not use any form of preservatives except for organic sugar and vinegar for its acidity. Products do not contain any artificial sweeteners or colors.
Where are ingredients sourced?
Deer Park Farm sources as much as possible from our own farm and supplements with produce from other farms in Floyd County. We also purchase some bulk produce from a local vendor, Woods Produce, and nearly all of our ravioli ingredients—aside from the vegetables—come from US Foods. We believe in complete transparency, so here’s the full picture.
What makes our ravioli special is our commitment to quality: we use local eggs whenever possible and never add preservatives. Each recipe is crafted with care and precision. Our basil, butternut squash, and soon, mushrooms, all come from local sources, ensuring the freshest flavors in every bite.
Is the commercial kitchen at Deer Park Farm eco-friendly?
Deer Park Farm’s kitchen is extremely eco-friendly. We have ZERO food waste, thanks to our comprehensive composting system. All the water used to wash our vegetables is collected in a holding tank and reserved for watering our plants if the water table ever gets low. By sourcing locally, we also reduce our carbon footprint, staying committed to sustainability every step of the way.
What products are made in house and are available for purchase?
Everything at Deer Park Farm is made in-house, except for the olive products. Most of our offerings, including our frozen ravioli, are available at our on-site Farm Store and through multiple local vendors, including Floyd EcoVillage, The Country Store, and Pickle and Ash.
