SPACE and Ryder Farm

Visitors to SPACE will have a chance to be a part of the unique and symbiotic relationship between SPACE and Ryder Farm. The Farm has been in the Ryder family since 1795, and was a pioneer in America’s green movement by becoming one of the first farms to go organic in the 1970s. SPACE sources the majority of its food directly from the organic produce at Ryder Farm, and menus are built around food items that are in season and available on the Farm.

Food at SPACE

Enjoying farm-to-table meals is an essential part of the experience at SPACE. It is an enormous gift to be located on a certified organic farm. The meals at SPACE reflect the beauty and sustainability of the land. SPACE offers its guests three farm-fresh meals each day using seasonal produce often harvested just hours before arriving on the table. Meals are shared in a beautiful antique dining hall, and serve as a wonderful opportunity for artists at SPACE to come together, break bread, share ideas, and connect with one another.

SPACE resident artists are sometimes called upon to help bring food to the table. Working on the farm is the perfect tonic for the artist looking to get out of their head and into their body. And there’s nothing quite like forging a direct connection to the food you eat and the land you live on. Working with one’s hands, in the open air, on the beauteous Ryder Farm reinvigorates and nurtures the artist’s waning spirit time and time again

SPACE Pairing Series: Where Art meets Food

October of 2011 saw SPACE’s first event combining a farm-to-table dinner with artist performances. Guests were invited up to the farm for hot apple cider and ginger snaps, followed by a tour of Ryder Farm, two artist performances, and finally, a four-course farm fresh dinner. The evening was a tremendous success. This is a series we will continue and expand, so stay tuned for opportunities to join us!
