Join us for a special dinner at the Rustic Church with a menu inspired by Firefly Farms — an artisan cheese producer and retailer in Accident, Maryland. Enjoy a multi-course meal and intimate conversation with the co-founders Mike Koch and Pablo Solanet in our rustic event space and learn more about Firefly Farms. 

More about Firefly Farms:

Mike Koch and Pablo Solanet are co-founders of FireFly Farms, known for their award-winning goat cheeses. They operate a friendly retail store and cheese production facility in Accident, MD near Deep Creek Lake.

 Before making Garrett County their full-time home, they were living and working in Washington, D.C. Mike was a senior leader for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while Pablo was a pastry chef at New Heights restaurant.

Mike and Pablo originally purchased their Garrett County farm and home as a vacation and weekend getaway. When their neighbor had nanny goats available after completing a 4-H project, they jumped into goat farming. One weekend they experimented with making cheese, and a new business was born!
