    Something bbq-ish?  Or are you looking for nicer?

    I don't remember who, but a few people have used Famous Daves and really liked it.

    If you're looking for something a little nicer but with pretty awesome prices, Foodworks (India St in Portland) caters and has amazing food.  They offer all different types of entrees and casseroles, full service waitstaff if necessary, etc.  My H was their children's pre-school teacher - super nice couple that owns it.

    Our caterers were out of Bethel, Maine which is about an hour or so from there and I believe they do travel.  They are called The Good Food Store and the food was amazing!!!  We just wanted really good food, not banquet stuff, and it was amazing.  I can't wait to make another trip up to Bethel to have them cook for us again!

    When I think of "farm" I think of made from scrach type cooking.  Country fried chicken, ham, potato salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, pies, ribs, beans, biscuits, lemonade, etc.  Not sure it that would work, but thought I'd put it out there for you.

    That is similar to what we are doing. We are haivn a pig roast with all the fixings. I think it fits the barn theme nicely!

    I used Famous Daves. The food is still raved about, the service was great, and the coordinator Hope was a dream. Did I mention that they are dirt cheap? Like shockingly cheap. PM me if you want more info.
