About Us
Farow at Home is a seasonal cooking and baking education platform created by chefs Patrick and Lisa Balcom. After closing their farm-to-table restaurant in early 2025, the Balcoms were inspired to bring the philosophy of their restaurant into the homes of their followers. Farow at Home helps you create beautiful, seasonal, and locally sourced dishes while deepening your connection to the people and places that make your food possible.
At Farow, we’ve always believed in cooking with intention and integrity. Our restaurant sourced 90% of its ingredients from within a 10-mile radius and never beyond 500 miles, relying solely on high-quality ingredients and the micro-moments of each season. That same commitment fuels Farow at Home. We aim to inspire home cooks to embrace local, seasonal ingredients and give them the confidence to craft meals from scratch that are better for their health, their families, and the planet.
Through weekly live cooking sessions using CSA boxes, curated recipes, and hands-on tutorials, Farow at Home serves as your guide to eating cleaner, more nutritious meals. But it’s not just about the food on your plate. It’s about supporting the farmers, ranchers, and food artisans who take the extra steps to benefit the local ecosystem, nurture the environment, and keep money circulating in the local economy.
Whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out, Farow at Home is here to help you make the most of each season, one delicious, locally inspired meal at a time.
