Remember the Farm to Table dinner at the Kiser family farm which is called Rivermyst? It was tonight.     I thought I’d take you along.

It was so nice to NOT drive to town to eat.   Just right up the road, and we were there!  Sweet! Even so we  arrived late–we were playing Rook and watching Nebraska beat Michigan.   The novelty of eating dinner close by was great…we didn’t change clothes or get “fixed up.” Mike hesitated about wearing his Ohio State sweatshirt, but I reminded him…this dinner was in a barn! And while the barn looked like…a barn, there were special touches to give it a nice ambiance…black tablecloths with burlap here and there.

These two nice ladies drove from Marion, Virginia.  We are so glad they came!

Bits of twine to fancy up the Mason jars…

Here’s a snippet of the pretty menu…Emily Kiser’s work?

And guess what…this soup has some bits of apples. Guess where they came from? Yep..these are from my trees!! Feeling pretty smug.

And here is a picture of the main course…

This is the line up of the younger generation of the Kiser Family and one of the Mehl’s girls.   Bet they are back home rubbing their feet.  They worked hard!

I didn’t get a picture of Don and Molly.   I went to high school with Don Kiser but I didn’t really know him. (He was older than me!!! So much older..years and years. Possibly ancient.) We then worked in the college work study program at the YMCA in Bristol; and now he and his wife, Molly, are our neighbors. The Kiser kids pictured below were really young when I first met them more than ten years ago. I’m so excited to see God’s plan unfold for them in the next ten years.

Thank you for coming along to dinner with me.   If you want to learn more about this certified organic farm, the Rivermyst CSA box program, or just talk farming, please look a member of the family up at the Abingdon Farmer’s Market and/or the Bristol Farmer’s Market.   Want to see another post about Rivermyst Farm from a long time ago?   Here’s a link!

As always, thank you for reading RiverCliff Cottage!
