The Epcot Farmers Feast booth is located by Test Track in World Discovery — and just like last year it turned out to once again be one of our favorites.
This outdoor kitchen is all about the hearty dishes and savory sides featuring farm-fresh ingredients.
What makes this booth special is that it has a rotating menu, meaning throughout its time at the festival the menu will change.
Here are the dates for the 2023 rotating menu:
- Early Bloom Menu (Available March 1 through April 8)
- Springtime Menu (Available April 9 through May 20)
- Summer Solstice Menu (Available May 20 through July 5)
Be sure to check our 2023 Early Bloom menu must-trys, photos, full reviews, and ratings below.

Photos & Reviews
Chilled Potato and Leek Soup “Vichyssoise”
A chilled potato and leek soup “Vichyssoise” with bacon lardons, potato croutons, chive oil and crispy leeks.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Good portion, enjoyed the light flavors, but pretty salty.
Heather: Love this. Delicious. Creamy, a bit salty. For when you want the comfort of a cozy soup without eating hot soup.
Felicia: This soup is cold which is a little strange. But, it’s delicious. Great flavor and it is somehow creamy in a light and refreshing way. Would recommend if you can get past it being intentionally cold.
Char-Grilled Bison Ribeye
Char-grilled bison ribeye with creamy leek fondue, red wine butter sauce, and whipped red wine goat cheese
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Gave this a 5 last year, but way too salty this time. Good portion. Fantastic combo of flavors (other than the salt).
Heather: Very good. The ribeye was extremely tender and the flavors were very … homey? Made me feel like I was eating Sunday dinner at my grandmas.
Felicia: This is incredible. The bison has a great sear that is seasoned perfectly (kind of a Montreal seasoning flavor). The creamy fondue is delicious and the cauliflower complements the bison and creamy leek well. It’s a good mix of flavors and textures. Absolutely loved it. Huge portion, too.
Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
A light spice cake with a cream cheese icing and candied pecans and parsnip. This is a new 2023 festival item.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Good portion but surprisingly bland. Missing the spice in “spice cake.”
Heather: Lovely flavor, very light. Very moist…not a lot of spice.
Felicia: Wow, this is so buttery and delicious. Spice cake isn’t too strong but is super moist. The frosting is so buttery and delicious.
Allyson: A really great spice cake, but kind of heavy for a hot day. I recommend eating indoors.
Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail
A hibiscus lemonade cocktail featuring Islamorada Brewery & Distillery Hibiscus Gin.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Beautiful presentation, good size portion, but gin flavor pretty strong. Be sure to stir it first!
Heather: Again – extremely refreshing. If you have to pick one drink here, choose this one.
Felicia: Beautiful presentation. Decent portion size. The hibiscus flavor is present but not overpowering. Delicious light cocktail.
Allyson: This is a good and refreshing cocktail. Plus, it’s really pretty. I loved the flavors a lot. Definitely tastes like a spiked lemonade. Tip: stir first!
Ghost Mary
Translucent Bloody Mary with Boyd & Blair Cucumber Vodka, tomato water, horseradish, celery salt and a hint of pepper. This item is new for the 2023 Festival.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Very bland, but cute cup.
Heather: No. No. Listen – it tastes like you had ice in a Bloody Mary and you drank all the Bloody Mary but the ice melted so you drank that.
Felicia: I don’t know what to think about this. The flavor is pleasant which is surprising. I didn’t expect it. It’s a very mellow cherry tomato flavor. It’s odd to taste that though with the watery consistency.
Allyson: It’s like a Bloody Mary, but not and weird and I don’t like it at all. I could barely take a sip.
Collective Arts Brewing Blueberry Elderberry Sparkling Hard Tea
A hard tea from Collective Arts Brewing in Ontario, Canada. This sparking hard tea is brewed with White Tea leaves and includes notes of blueberries and elderberries. This item is new for the 2023 Festival.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Light, refreshing. Slight fruit taste. Would order again.
Heather: I’m giving this a pity 3 but it probably deserves a 2. It lacks flavor.
Felicia: Pretty mellow with a nice berry flavor. Doesn’t have a strong tea flavor. Refreshing without being too sweet.
Allyson: A little too sweet, but it has a good berry flavor.
