Eden Shale Update

Dan Miller Industry Coordinator, Kentucky Beef Network

If you have ever been there, you will know that the Eden Shale Farm is not easy to get to. It sits unassumingly across 961 acres tucked away in the rugged hillsides of Owen County. But its remote location does not stop hundreds of people from visiting the farm each year. On an average year Eden Shale will host 2530 tours/events at the farm. This year was no different as we have conducted 26 tours as of November 1st. Those tours included over 500 total participants, which is the second highest number of annual visitors that we have ever hosted. Eden Shale has had visitors from 32 different states, and we hosted an international group this summer that represented 13 different countries from around the world. Hosting this number of people each year certainly has its challenges. With each tour there are a lot of logistics to work out, and the most important is, of course, the food! But at Eden Shale the food is not a problem, and that is because we have the best caterer that you will find anywhere in the state of Kentucky! Ricky and Cindy Wilhoite are the owner/ operators of Big Tricky’s Catering. They are locals that live in Owen County and are well known throughout the community. They have catered every event at Eden Shale Farm since 2013, and I could not be more pleased with their food and their service. In nine years they have never told me that they could not provide food for any Eden Shale scheduled event. They are also extremely reliable and always punctual, which is important if you have hungry visitors that are ready for lunch! If you have had lunch at Eden Shale before you may have noticed Ricky sitting on the back table in the tobacco stripping room telling a big story about a recent fishing trip. Or Cindy faithfully keeping the serving dishes full of food and handing out drinks. Even if you didn’t notice them I bet you do remember their Kitchen Sink Cookies which are as enticing as the tales coming from Ricky’s perch. You see, Ricky and Cindy are just simple, country people, and they genuinely care about the folks they are feeding. They are good people, they create a quality product, they take pride in their work, and they make sure you enjoy it. What else could you ask of lunch?
