This was a ton of fun, and we got into everything from food, to business, to farm life, and everything in-between. We hope you enjoy!"Servis Events is made up of identical twin brothers Nicolas and Stephen Servis. They have been cooking in the Bucks County area for over ten years now, and after being forced to leave their restaurant jobs due to COVID, they came up with this private dining service. Their education started at Middle Bucks Institute of Technology where we were both enrolled in the Culinary Arts program. After completion, they went on to get our associates degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Bucks County Community College. The rest was taught in the kitchen. They both truly became deeply interested in the farm-to-table world when holding chef de partie positions at The Mainland Inn. Yes, they have worked in a lot of the same restaurants! They did full animal butchery, gardening, growing under lights, tapping maple trees for syrup, raising bees and spinning the honey, making our own hot sauces & vinegars, foraging for garnish and such. They were in our own little heaven of a restaurant. When volunteering at Quarry Hill Farm, Stephen was told about the WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) program. A pitch that said you could travel for free, as long as you offer your work to the farmers in exchange for housing and meals. Well, five years later, the time was just right and they spent 2 months on Flying Pond Farm in Vienna, Maine in the summer of 2020. Thats where this whole idea became just a distant reality. After countless conversations with the farmer and his family (Harold and the Grams), we had somewhat of a plan of attack for when we returned home to start cooking these private events. After a little bit of revising, they had our vision!"
