Media Tasting Notes
Welcome to Open Farm Community's new Farm Feast
Conceived in the wake of recent dine-in restrictions and the pandemic fatigue that ensued, the new Farm Feast conjures up a celebration of homegrown produce through the convivial way of kampong dining in a bid to reinvigorate the different relationships on the dining table – between friends and families, as well as diners and their food.
More than just a new menu
Here's all you need to know about the new Farm Feast
01.
To bring back the joys of dining out
Conceived in the wake of recent dine-in restrictions and the pandemic fatigue that ensued, Spa Esprit Group’s Cynthia Chua worked with OFC’s head chef Oliver Truesdale and sous chef Phoebe Oviedo to bring to life a setting and meal that could rejuvenate the joys of dining out with your loved ones and at the same time, spark conversations about food through Open Farm Community’s philosophy of championing the locavore movement.
Tapping into the public’s yearning for escape and connection, the Farm Feast capitalises on the idyllic setting of OFC, all served up in a Kampong dining-inspired manner to capture the wholesomeness of traditional Southeast Asian dining.

A farm-fresh feast for the family
Ideated as a celebration of homegrown produce and inspired by the convivial way of kampong dining, the Farm Feast is a new family-style tasting menu that features inventive, communal dishes that best showcase ingredients sourced from close to home. Presented as a table of sharing plates, each feast can cater to as little as a table for two and more, serving up an array of snacks, starters, mains, house-made accompaniments, and desserts that can be easily adjusted to any group size for a nourishing meal.
The Farm Feast is available from 6pm – 9pm daily and priced at $88 per pax for dinner (requires whole table partcipation), with a wine pairing option available to add-on per pax at $40 each.

From Farm to Feast
Carrying through the practice of keeping dishes as local as possible, the core of its Farm Feast lies with a proud use of produce that are predominantly sourced from a close and trusted network of local suppliers. In a continued bid to support the urban farming ecosystem, fresh greens and herbs are procured from a long-running partnership with Edible Garden City among other local farms, while proteins are sourced to ensure they are sustainably produced and humanely farmed, with a select handful of harvests that are lovingly grown at the on-site garden.
Further defined by a minimal waste policy, the team has made it a point to utilise every part of the produce by repurposing commonly discarded trimmings into unsuspecting accompaniments.

Drink from our favourite farms
As with most—or if not, all—concepts under Spa Esprit Group’s portfolio of restaurants, the Farm Feast is best rounded off with glasses of natural wine for a complete escape. Curated by Drunken Farmer, the natural wine-obsessed sibling of the group, orders of the Farm Feast come with a wine pairing option (S$40) for three glasses of wines that are carefully chosen to elevate the meal.
