The Burning Barrel is about creation. In nature, new life comes forth, experiences its purpose, and returns to the Earth to begin anew, completing the cycle. As stewards of this place, we participate in this process each day, season, and year as we build and grow on the land.

We invite you to come out and experience the balance of the Elements and remember your vital relationships with real food and one another.

Just Announced:

10 Year Anniversary Dinner!

The Burning Barrel was established in 2015 with a goal to grow produce, raise and process livestock, source remaining ingredients directly from the local farming community or as close to home as possible and serve it as a meal around a community table. For the last 4 years, we have done exactly that. Thank you for helping us keep this dream alive.

Join us as we celebrate 10 years with a 10 Course Dinner - a true culmination event.

What People Are Saying

  • Our hours at Burning Barrel were among the most delightful of my life.  My mother retired from farming about 20 years ago.  Upon her death 2 years ago, we sold the land to the family who have been farming it since she retired.  A good & right thing, but I miss not having a connection to the land and this experience brought me home. I'm also an unfettered food snob, on grounds of both healthy and delicious eating.  Every single morsel was a mouth full of heaven.  Amazing!

  • I can feel the intention in every element of our evening, from the food and drinks to dining tables and landscape. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  • Burning Barrel is nothing short of magical. Not only have you distilled the essence of Kansas in beautiful simplicity, but you’ve done so with a spirit and care toward the land that shines through in all aspects. Thank you.

  • My wife and I came in from Kansas City to a very warm welcome at The Burning Barrel. Their creations are beautiful, straight from the heart. What they are doing transcends any “dining” experience we’ve ever had and quite literally defies category. We will be back…with friends!

  • Food has never made me feel this good before. This is one of those moments I will remember for the rest of my life

    Brian Stockton

  • We had an incredible farm to table dining experience at Kristin and Brian's Origin Restaurant. From the time we were greeted with a hand crafted welcome cocktail on their lovely covered patio to laughing with new friends at our table over tea and dessert, every aspect of this experience was a delight. Kristin and Brian offer a world class dining experience deliciously prepared from ingredients lovingly raised on their farm. Our dinner was deeply nourishing for body and spirit, and so much fun!
