Farm 12 Restaurant & Events

What Farm 12 Restaurant & Events does

Farm 12 Restaurant & Events is a social enterprise operating a multi-venue campus at 3303 8th Ave SE in Puyallup, Washington, on a 10+ acre restored tulip farm overlooking Mount Rainier. The operation is wholly owned by Step By Step, a nonprofit organization dedicated to equipping mothers and families, and all profits flow to that mission. Farm 12 runs a full-service farm-to-table restaurant (brunch, lunch, dinner), the Fika coffee shop and bakery (open 6 AM to 3 PM daily), and event hosting across multiple venue spaces including an Event Hall that accommodates up to 300 guests, a Festival Barn Courtyard, a Greenhouse, Terraces, and outdoor fields.

The company serves four primary customer segments: wedding couples seeking full-service all-inclusive packages with catering, bar, linens, china, glassware, and staff; corporate clients booking meetings, conferences, retreats, and holiday parties; nonprofit organizations hosting galas, fundraisers, and auctions; and walk-in local diners and ticketed community-event attendees. Catering pickup extends the culinary operation off-site, with family-style menus and custom cakes ordered through Toasttab with a 7-day food-order and 14-day cake lead time.

Technology is operational rather than proprietary: Toasttab handles online ordering and catering, Tripleseat manages private event bookings, Qgiv powers ticketing for fundraisers and concerts, and RunSignUp handles race registration. The business model is one-time transactional across all revenue streams — venue rentals, per-ticket events, per-cover buffets, and per-order catering. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through on-site retail (restaurant, Fika), inquiry-driven direct sales via venue coordinators for weddings and corporate events, and self-serve online ordering for catering. No AI, app, or proprietary platform capabilities are disclosed.
