One of the things we love most about life at The Farm at Rivendell is welcoming people around our table to share good food, meaningful conversation, and the simple beauty of slowing down together.

On July 16, I’ll be hosting The Summer Table through Ingrained Living: Functional Nutrition Therapy & Holistic Care—a thoughtfully curated midday experience for women.

Together, we’ll enjoy a seasonal meal featuring local ingredients, freshly milled homemade bread, thoughtful conversation, and gently guided moments of reflection—creating space to slow down, reconnect, and be nourished, body and soul.

As I prepare the menu, I’m especially looking forward to incorporating ingredients from local farms and makers throughout Middle Tennessee. It’s a small way to celebrate this community while sharing the hospitality of our home.

If this sounds like the kind of afternoon your heart could use, I’d be delighted to welcome you around our table.

We will have photo booths where you can get pictures with a horse (donation appreciated), free demo sessions for our equine assisted therapy program, music, and fun.

Update:

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of our Christmas event at The Farm at Rivendell this year. Due to some unexpected changes in our family situation, we feel it’s best to prioritize time with our loved ones this season.

This was not an easy decision to make, as we were truly looking forward to celebrating with all of you. Your support and enthusiasm have meant so much to us, and we are incredibly grateful for your understanding.

We hope to welcome you back to the farm in the future when the time is right. In the meantime, we wish you a peaceful and joyful holiday season filled with love and warmth.

With heartfelt appreciation,
Bethany & Rob
