Farm To Table Appetizer Bar + Free Printables

May 14, 2016 by JD 2 Comments

We were feeling inspired by the local Farmer’s Markets this weekend and decided to kick back in the patio, fire up the grill, and enjoy a Just-Because Farm To Table Appetizer Bar! We were super pleased with how all of it came together–quite frankly, we would’ve never thought that potted organic herbs, local honey, and fresh produce would make wonderful party decorations. We are in love with the natural, down-to-earth feel of this setup. Best of all, they’re edible and can be consumed all throughout the party! Edible party decorations! Hey, looks like we’re onto something here.

Farm To Table Party Theme and "Fresh From Florida"

The inspiration came from the mason jars and red diner baskets from Oriental Trading* + our tabletop fire hydrant home decor. Thoughts of “rustic” and “country” came to mind and they quickly reminded us of our leisurely drives along the countryside. We grabbed one of our wooden baskets and added some fresh, locally grown produce that gave it a “fresh-picked produce” feel. Soon, we were thinking of our trips to the Farmer’s Market. Local raw honey (the upcycled aluminum butterfly necklace came with it). Potted organic herbs. This is really coming together nicely.

Blueberry Lemon Mint Infused Water - "Fresh From Florida"

We looked up which local fruits and veggies are in season and added them to our party spread. Blueberries were one of them. Who could resist beautifully infused water in mason jars on a hot summer (well, almost) day?

TRISCUIT Appetizer Recipe Ideas - Summer Entertaining

The red trays and checkered wax sheets are so reminiscent of seafood restaurants by the bay. We grilled some fresh, sustainable seafood, and used them as toppers for our Farm To Table Appetizer Bar. Think grilled salmon, grilled shrimp, and all other kinds of delicious options. Grilled fruit and veggies are also nice.

Honey Salmon Sriracha TRISCUIT - Summer Entertaining Ideas

A simple Farm To Table sign completed the theme, along with some themed place cards. We shared the free printables (including blank ones) at the bottom of this post, so you can easily replicate this setup on your patio or picnic table… or even on your picnic blanket! It does help to have a tray lined with a checkered tea towel to keep things portable and sitting in one place (keeping things neat and orderly is important). We used a wooden bread bowl for the crackers and a beautiful wooden cheeseboard for the Honey Salmon Sriracha TRISCUIT crackers. Don’t forget about the squeeze bottle for the Honey Sriracha Mayo and some small mason jars to hold fresh herbs, vegetables, and cream cheese packets. These little conveniences are great for outdoor entertaining–and make for an easier cleanup, after the party.
