Farmhouse Restaurant at Top of the World Resort

What Farmhouse Restaurant at Top of the World Resort does

Farmhouse Food (formerly operating the Farmhouse Restaurant at Top of the World in Lake George, NY) is a privately held, founder-led consulting and catering firm specializing in the farm-to-table movement. The business was founded around 2000 by Kimberly Feeney London and Kevin London and is based in Saratoga Springs, New York, with a team of approximately six people. It offers a modular portfolio of services: menu and recipe development, kitchen and production space design, restaurant sustainability audits, agricultural business development, kitchen garden design, and farm-to-school program implementation, delivered through consulting engagements, project-based catering, ticketed pop-up dinners at Glenham Farm, and consumer cooking classes. There is no software or technology product; the underlying capability is human expertise in regional agriculture, culinary operations, and food systems accumulated over ~20 years across restaurants, farms, catering venues, and academic roles.

The firm makes money through five discrete streams: professional-services consulting billed as project-based engagements, event catering, ticketed pop-up dinners, cooking classes and batch cooking services, and farm-to-school training seminars. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears quote-based for consulting and catering. Go-to-market is direct, founder-led, and community-driven, leveraging personal-brand content on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube, plus institutional relationships with Slow Food Saratoga, Farm to Chef, Chefs Collaborative, and Pitney Meadows Community Farm. Customer segments span B2B (restaurants and food-service operators, school districts, small farms) and DTC (private event hosts, individual cooking-class attendees and pop-up diners), with no intermediaries and no outside capital.

Material constraints include extreme founder concentration (the two principals deliver most client work personally), absence of institutional funding or M&A activity, no software or recurring-revenue infrastructure, and a tightly bounded Upstate New York / Northeast service area. The 2020 launch of farmhousefood.com and the Glenham Farm pop-up series is the most recent documented operating-model change and represents a pivot from restaurant operations to a distributed consulting-plus-events model.

Direct peers

• Blue Hill at Stone Barns: Premier farm-to-table restaurant where co-founder Kevin London previously worked in the kitchen. Operates a comparable combination of dining, agricultural production, and educational programming at Stone Barns Center, sharing the same farm-to-table philosophy, regional producer network model, and consulting/education extension activities.
• Wholesome Wave: Nonprofit working on food access, farm-to-school initiatives, and food systems change — overlapping with Farmhouse Food's farm-to-school training and farm-to-table movement work, particularly through institutional and policy channels.
• National Farm to School Network: National organization providing farm-to-school program development, training, and policy advocacy — directly comparable to Farmhouse Food's farm-to-school consulting service line, including staff training seminars and program implementation support for school districts.
• Edible Schoolyard Project: Alice Waters' nonprofit implementing food education and garden-based learning in schools. Comparable to Farmhouse Food's farm-to-school programming, kitchen garden design service line, and academic-tied educational offerings.
• The Chef's Garden: Specialty farm supplying chefs with high-quality seasonal produce while providing culinary education, farm tours, and farm-to-table consulting. Comparable business model combining agricultural production, chef education, and institutional customer engagement.
• Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture: Nonprofit farm and education center adjacent to Blue Hill, offering farm-to-table programming, agricultural training, and food systems education. Closely comparable to Farmhouse Food's combination of on-farm dining experiences, agricultural education, and consulting services for the food industry.

Others

• Local Line: SaaS platform enabling farms to manage wholesale orders, including farm-to-restaurant sales. Provides technology infrastructure that competes with Farmhouse Food's manual sourcing and producer-relationship consulting by digitizing the same workflow the Londons personally facilitate.
• Cornell Small Farms Program: Cornell University program offering small farm business development resources, training, and consulting — closely comparable to Farmhouse Food's agricultural business development and kitchen garden design service line, particularly given Kevin's Cornell alumni connection.

Broad incumbents

• FRESHFARM: Mid-Atlantic food hub operating farmers markets and food access programs with educational programming. Comparable regional food-system organization, though larger in scale, with overlapping farm-to-institution and producer-support missions.
• Red Tomato: Regional food hub and nonprofit consulting operation connecting Northeast farms with wholesale and institutional buyers. Overlaps with Farmhouse Food's agricultural business development, local sourcing, and farm-to-institutional consulting work, though at greater scale and broader geographic reach.
