The Dutch Broad

The Dutch Broad is operated by The Dutch Broad Ministries, a non-profit 501(c)(3) located near Cliffside, NC. It offers a unique farm-to-table dining experience and adventure. We unite farm-grown vegetables and humanely locally raised animals with creative culinary skills in a breathtaking setting. The food is beautifully presented, deeply flavored and simply delicious.

The Dutch Broad is operated entirely off-grid and solar-powered and is the only dining facility of its kind. It includes a full commercial, industrial kitchen, with a dining room framed by a full wall of windows overlooking the gardens, greenhouse and Broad River.

The Dutch Broad is named after its owner’s heritage and location on the Broad River. At the Dutch Broad we have a great love and respect for the land and its preservation. It is all about farm-fresh, organic, regionally grown dishes.

The Dutch Broad is located on White Turtle Farm near Cliffside, NC, 20 minutes from Shelby, NC, and one hour from Greenville, SC, Charlotte, NC and Asheville, NC. White Turtle Farm is a modern family farm using sustainable and organic small-scale practices.

White Turtle Farm is situated on 100 acres, of which 85 acres are in sustainable tree production. Biodiversity and natural ecosystem processes are conserved through Agroforestry. Two spring-fed creeks as well as the Broad River define the property boundaries.
