Get ready for a one of kind dining experience at our farm table..
Farm Table Dinners
The farm table dinner experience is a multi-course dinner served at a communal table on the screened-in back porch of the Oakley Cabin, tucked in the post oak forest on the farm. Some courses are just a few bites and others are more substantial, ensuring that you will leave satisfied, as well as captivated by the beauty of the food on each plate. We will provide a feast of foods, many of them cooked over an open fire, and invite you to experience what the cabin and farm uniquely offer: nature and community.
2025 Dinners
Cost: TBD
Reservations: We are working on the 2025 Schedule. We are expecting some significant changes in what we offer and how often we do it, but the 2024 schedule below will give you some idea of how we structure things. We plan to post a schedule in late March and start taking reservations for the first month or two in early April. At this time, we do not plan to open the season before early May.
Our 2024 Schedule is below.
Times listed by each date are for the optional garden tour/cabin gathering time. Dinner will start 30 mins later than the listed time. In order to enable staff time to prepare the cabin and be ready to greet guests, we ask that you arrive no earlier than the listed time.
Our dinners are meant to be a community dining experience shared around a common table. To preserve this experience for all guests, we take reservations from groups from 1 to 8 persons in size. Party size is limited to 8, whether all are on one reservation or you have different reservations that want to be seated together. We will take reservations for each dinner until approximately 36 seats are filled. If your group is larger than eight, please email us at livingkitchendinners@gmail.com for options to enjoy our dinners.
Reservations are made through our Tock page. Tock provides a secure way for you to pay for your reservation when you make it. We offer a full refund for any cancellations made with at least one week’s notice.
For cancellations made with less than a week’s notice, but more than 72-hours’ notice, we will refund 50%. No refund is offered with less than 72-hours’ notice. We ask that cancellations be made as early as possible to give us the best opportunity to fill the seats. Exceptions to the cancellation policy may be used for special events. Check the description of the special event for information on the cancellation policy for that event.
Dietary Restrictions: We can accommodate most reasonable dietary restrictions with at least 48-hours’ notice, unless otherwise noted on the description for the dinner’s theme. If you require dietary restrictions, please pay close attention to any limitations listed for the dinner in the description.

“Every experience I have had at The Living Kitchen Farm and Dairy has been nothing short of perfect. This time we came to celebrate my mother's birthday. The staff are incredible, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and every single dish is thoughtful, complex and delicious. I am now obsessed and recommend the experience to everyone. A very happy repeat guest here!”

Older children and teens are welcome but please understand this can be a grueling and uncomfortable experience for a youngster who is not used to dining for several hours, not to mention grueling and uncomfortable for the person sitting next to them. Out of respect for your own experience and that of our other guests, we ask that you be mindful of this. The ticket price and menu are the same for children.

Dinners are served on a screened-in back porch at the cabin on our farm. There is no air conditioning, so we urge guests to dress accordingly. In months when the temperature drops below comfortable levels, we cover the porch with plastic and place space heaters around to add heat. Some guests choose to dress up, others prefer casual dress. Our recommendation is that you choose whatever is comfortable for you, keeping in mind that you are coming to a working farm.

We do offer a limited number of gift certificates. Email us at livingkitchendinners@gmail.com for more information

We are a small, seasonal business, dependent on the sales of the dinners to operate the farm all year. To that end, we do our best to make sure every seat is filled at each dinner. Cancellations that are made without enough notice are hard to fill, even when we have a wait list for a dinner. Therefore, we offer a full refund for any cancellations made with at least one week’s notice. For cancellations made with less than a week’s notice, but more than 72-hours’ notice, we will refund 50%. No refund is offered with less than 72-hours notice. We ask that cancellations be made as early as possible to give us the best opportunity to fill the seats. Exceptions to the cancellation policy may be used for special events. Check the description of the special event for information on the cancellation policy for that event.

Paying close attention to weather is a way of life for us. We take it seriously, and understand that there are many moods to Oklahoma weather. On the day of a farm table dinner, we check the weather report frequently. We do not cancel in the event of rain, or other normal weather situations, since the dinner is held on an enclosed, covered porch.
The porch is covered and protected. If it becomes apparent that we will be in the path of severe weather (i.e., tornadoes, ice), we will pay close attention and make a decision whether or not to hold the event. If we decide to cancel, we will contact you by email or text (using the cellphone number provided at the time of your reservation) and offer options to honor your paid admission to the dinner. If we choose not to cancel, but the weather report concerns you enough that you feel it is best for you not to attend, please email us at livingkitchendinners@gmail.com or call us at 918-284-8169 and we will let you know what options are available to you.

We are not a restaurant, per se. We offer farm table dinners for approximately 36 guests on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from April through December. Guests make reservations for the evening ahead of time and all are seated at the specific time listed for the dinner. Our dinners are prepared on the farm in our certified commercial kitchen.
-
We are not certified organic, but we use only organic farming practices. We strive to grow all vegetables used in the dinners on our farm, but occasionally we have to supplement. When we do, we buy from another local farm. When it comes to produce grown elsewhere, for us, local trumps organic. Wherever possible, we choose local organic produce to use, but if organic is unavailable from a local farm, we will choose produce from a local farm that is not certified organic, but uses responsible growing practices. Our animals and the meat we purchase from other producers, are all humanely raised on pasture.

You may visit our farm by making a reservation for and attending a farm table dinner.

The produce grown at Living Kitchen is grown by the farmers of Lightfoot Farm. Opportunities to purchase produce from Lightfoot Farm will be announced soon.

We are located about one-quarter mile off of historic Route 66 just west of the small town of Depew, OK. Driving time from Tulsa is about 45 minutes, from Oklahoma City is about one hour, and from Stillwater, about one hour. You can find us here on Google maps: Living Kitchen. Directions are sent to paid guests a few days before the dinner.

Some guests have had luck getting an Uber or Lyft driver to agree to a trip to Living Kitchen. We also recommend Sky Limo and Galaxy Limo in Tulsa, both of which have made numerous trips to farm table dinners and are willing to drive guests out. Back Stage Limo service in OKC has also made the trip.

There is an apartment in Stroud listed on AirBnB called The Locker and there is a Hampton Inn & Suites right on the interstate there as well. And, approximately 10 minutes outside of Stroud is Tatanka Ranch which has guest cabins.
