    Chef preparing our fantastic dinner for two!
    Jason S.

    What an amazing experience! We are celebrating our 17th Anniversary here in Lincoln City and decided to have a nice romantic dinner in. Chef was very nice, fun, explained the different spices and ingredients. The experience it self was amazing but his food was beyond delicious!!! Yelp only allows for up to five stars, however Chef deserves 10+. Really hoping he travels to our home town so we can have him cook for us again. If you are wanting a great experience with fantastic food, I highly recommend him. Enjoy our pictures of our dinner for two.

    See all

    I hired Joe from Dropping Beets to make a family-style dinner for my birthday, and it was perfect…read more The goal was something casual yet special--just a great meal I didn't have to cook. Joe created a menu that felt effortless but had so many thoughtful, creative touches. The arancini with fresh crab were incredible--light, crispy, and paired perfectly with a bold puttanesca sauce. The Acqua Pazza (crazy water) was the highlight for me--this brothy, flavorful fish dish served over crustini that made the meal interactive and fun. It was savory, a little briny, with just the right kick of heat, and absolutely nailed that fresh, light, and vibrant vibe I love. Those were just a couple of the standouts--everything he made was delicious, and the ingredients really shined. Joe's menu felt like "me," which is what made it so special. My friends kept saying how much the meal reminded them of me, and I couldn't agree more. He also knew his way around my kitchen, cleaned up afterward, and made the whole experience seamless. If you're looking for a private chef who's creative, easy to work with, and affordable, Joe is the one. He made my birthday unforgettable!

    Incredible, reliable, delicious, unique! Chef Joe made my 8-person dinner party dreams come true…read more The presentation was excellent, the appetizers to die for and the best salmon I've ever had in my life! He left the kitchen spotless and even wrapped up leftovers for us to enjoy the following day. I've had the pleasure of attending parties featuring several different professional chefs/caterers and this experience was an all around 10/10. Don't think twice before contacting Joe for your next special event!

    Ashley is exactly the kind of person you want your child's mind to be around. She gets it! I am so…read moreexcited that she is a resource available to us as my family is now living in Bend after a move from Portland! Her kids camp agenda is full of incredible and thoughtful planning and I truly believe she is going to change the world by cultivating a love of learning and self in minds of our future. From meditation and mindfulness tips and tricks, tutoring sessions from a teacher herself, and starting a love affair with food and nutrition... I kind of wish that I was a kid again so I could take part in this stuff. ;)

    Ashley's cooking classes for kids are absolutely wonderful- not only do the kids learn delicious,…read morehealthy recipes, they learn so much about making healthy food choices and how to recognize strong vs weak foods in their everyday lives. I took my best friend's 8-year-old to class all summer and he loved learning kitchen techniques and sharing his creations and knowledge with us when he got home. Ashley is a wonderful, inspiring teacher dedicated to equipping kids with practical skills for making good choices- we need more people like her in this world! I would highly recommend these classes to anyone whose child is interested in food and cooking. You can be assured everything they make is healthy, easy to do at home and the classes are also accommodating to kids with allergies to gluten/dairy etc which is a huge plus.

    My group of 4 friends came and stayed here for the eclipse... and I have to agree with the previous…read morereview by "Heidi K" (which I wish was not the case as the Farm owners seemed to be some very nice people). But, yes... it was very disorganized and did not deliver on the promises they made. My expectations were pretty low, but still. I went with the "Glamping" option (which was NOT cheap!)... and this turned out to be a tent with two air-beds and some linens (nothing like what the picture on the website represented). In addition to what has already been said, the bathroom facilities were repulsive (hot and quite malodorous). I suppose this happens when you have people who are farmers - not function organizers - who see a chance to make some money and jumped on it... thinking they could just do it themselves. Then several hundred people show up and they were clearly overwhelmed and under-prepared. Too bad. They should at least offer a partial refund (but that is not going to happen).

    Eclipse Event at Organic Earthly Delights. The eclipse was spectacular and the people were friendly…read moreBUT the owners failed to deliver on almost every promise made in advertising or during conversations about this upscale farm experience. *Long lines of frustrated guests waited at least an hour in the hot sun for meager portions and sub-par cooking of inexpensive ingredients, instead of the promised gourmet delights. *Guests waited in similarly long lines to get just a cup of coffee. *Guests were verbally promised free, premium local beer and wine with meals, but were instead asked to pay premium restaurant prices for California labels. *Our fully furnished 'luxury yurt' was In reality a tent with one lightweight sleeping bag for two. There are many more anecdotes that we and other dissatisfied guests could share but, suffice it to say that we do not recommend attending any functions at this location. Thank you to all the other guests who, despite the circumstances, help make this a memorable event.
