We aim to connect history with food, to serve as a source of inspiration and point of reference, where visitors can learn to eat more responsibly and joyfully, sharing in the pleasures of sustainable, organic and locally sourced ingredients. Visitors to Farm Table will learn about Thomas Jefferson's enthusiasm for local agriculture and his love of seasonal produce, along with the culinary legacy of generations of Monticello enslaved gardeners and cooks who raised the vegetables and prepared the food for Jefferson’s table.
Open most days, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.*
(*Check Monticello's hours for most up-to-date hours. Closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day and on Tuesdays in December, January, and February.)
Our menu is rooted in 200 years of history and the unique blend of European and African cultures that shaped Monticello’s legendary cuisine.
Visitors learn about the culinary legacy of generations of Monticello enslaved gardeners and cooks who raised the vegetables and prepared the food for his table.
