Come Sit at the Table
Two ways to step away.
One welcoming table.
A Seat at the Table and A Day at the Table
Not everyone can leave for a full day.
But most women are carrying a lot.
Work. Family. Responsibilities. Expectations. The quiet pressure to keep everything moving.
These gatherings offer something simple and increasingly rare:
Time to sit down.
Eat good food.
And be around women who understand what that feels like.
No presentations.
No performance.
No expectations.
Just a table. A meal. And a slower pace.
Choose the gathering that fits your season
A Seat at the Table
A two-hour reset
Sometimes you don’t need a full retreat.
You just need a place to sit down for a couple of hours and breathe.
A Seat at the Table is a small gathering at the farmhouse table where we prepare part of a seasonal dish together, share a relaxed lunch, and spend time in real conversation.
Nothing forced. Nothing structured. Just space to arrive as you are.
Included
– Hands-on participation in preparing part of the meal
– A seasonal, family-style farmhouse lunch
– A small group gathering (limited to 10 women)
Who this is for
Women who are:
– carrying a lot
– moving fast all the time
– craving a little space to slow down
– wanting connection without committing to a full-day retreat

Two hours can change how the rest of your week feels.
A Day at the Table
A full countryside retreat
Some seasons call for more space.
More time to step away from productivity and expectations.
More room to hear yourself think again.
A Day at the Table is a one-day gathering designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and spend meaningful time around the table and on the land.
We cook together.
Share a long countryside meal.
Walk the pastures.
Sit with tea.
Rest.
Talk if you want to.
Be quiet if you don’t.
Nothing to perform.
Nothing to accomplish.
Just a day shaped by food, conversation, and the rhythm of the farm.
Included
– Hands-on meal preparation
– Shared countryside lunch
– Time to walk, rest, and reflect on the farm
– A small group gathering (limited to 12 women)

What makes these gatherings different
This isn’t a workshop.
It isn’t a seminar.
It isn’t a networking event.
There are no presentations.
No expectations to share anything personal.
No pressure to participate in a certain way.
Instead, these gatherings are built around something simple and human:
Cooking together
Eating together
Sitting together
Spending time in a place where life moves more slowly
For many women, that’s enough to create space for something to shift.
Your host
Inga Orth is a fourth-generation farmer, licensed Wisconsin cheesemaker, and the former host and creator of the PBS series Around the Farm Table.
For more than a decade, her work has centered around seasonal food, Wisconsin farms, and the connection between land, community, and the meals we share.
These gatherings are a continuation of that work—just around a real table instead of a television camera.
Which experience is right for you?
Choose A Seat at the Table if you:
– can’t step away for a full day
– want something simple and restorative
– are curious about the farm and the experience
– want connection without a big time commitment
Choose A Day at the Table if you:
– are ready for deeper space to reset
– want time outdoors and on the land
– have been feeling stretched thin for a while
– are craving a slower, more spacious day
Both are small.
Both are welcoming.
Both are intentionally simple.
And both begin the same way:
With a seat at the farmhouse table.

Group Size
This gathering is intentionally limited to 12 women so the day feels relaxed, personal, and welcoming.
A smaller group allows for meaningful conversation, space to connect with one another, and the freedom to participate in whatever way feels comfortable.
Accessibility
The gathering takes place on a countryside farm, and portions of the day include walking on uneven ground such as pasture and gravel paths.
At this time, the farm is not wheelchair accessible, and we want to be transparent about that so guests can make the best decision for themselves.
Participation in outdoor portions of the day is always optional, and indoor spaces are available throughout the gathering.
Your Host
Inga Orth is a fourth-generation farmer, licensed Wisconsin cheesemaker, and the former host and creator of the PBS television series Around the Farm Table.
For more than a decade, the show blended cooking, farming, and storytelling as Inga traveled across Wisconsin meeting farmers and bringing their ingredients back to the kitchen. The series highlighted seasonal food, regenerative agriculture, and the deep connection between the land and the meals we share.
The Setting
This is a small dairy farm surrounded by grasslands, gardens, and open sky. The farm is home to a small herd of Jersey cows who graze the pastures, along with gardens, pollinator habitat, and a landscape cared for with attention to biodiversity and soil health.
Over time the farm has grown into something that feels a bit like a sanctuary — a place where the rhythm of life is guided more by seasons, animals, and the land than by schedules and deadlines.
Throughout the day you’ll have the opportunity to walk the pastures, meet the cows, wander the trails, or simply sit quietly under the trees.
For many people, simply spending time in a place like this — where things move more slowly and naturally — creates the space needed to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
Refund Policy
Because this gathering is intentionally small and each seat is limited, registrations are non-refundable.
If you find that you’re unable to attend, you’re welcome to transfer your spot to another guest.
