As a part of the Webber Restaurant Group, Fireside Catering sources produce from our own Gibbet Hill Farm in Groton, MA. Over three acres of produce is growing specifically for our chefs’ use. Growing over 20 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, raspberries, blackberries, kale, heirloom beets, edible flowers, radishes, greens, peppers, beans, Swiss chard, specialty onions, herbs, and many other crops, you will find Gibbet Hill produce throughout events and weddings we cater each week. In addition to using our own farm, Chef Ethan proudly sources produce, meat, and dairy from local farms and vendors whenever possible.

When there is an abundant harvest, Fireside Catering takes excess produce to can, pickle and preserve. Raspberries, blackberries, and black raspberries are used for our signature Gibbet Hill Jam. Herbs are pureed into sauces and flash frozen for use during the winter months. A variety of vegetables are pickled and used throughout the year as garnishes and relishes.

WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award

The Estate at Moraine Farm is proud to receive a WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award for 2015.

“The WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® recognizes the top 5 percent of local Wedding Professionals from the WeddingWire Network throughout the United States, Canada and abroad that demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the organization, the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® are awarded solely based on the reviews from over 200,000 newlyweds. Awards are determined by a combination of excellence in four factors: overall rating (quality), total number of reviews (quantity), review performance from 2014 (recency), and consistency of reviews from year to year (consistency).”

Thank you to all the great couples that we had the pleasure of hosting at The Estate at Moraine Farm and who helped us achieve this award!
