UK's Auxiliary Farm

Where our ingredients begin. A working farm that feeds our kitchen, our community, and our mission.

From Soil to Curbside

UK's Auxiliary Farm is the living backbone of Underground Kitchen. Nestled near Gainesville, our farm grows the seasonal produce, herbs, and specialty ingredients that define every dish we serve.

We believe food tastes better when you know exactly where it came from — and when the people who grew it are your neighbors. Our farm is a direct extension of our commitment to honest, transparent, farm-to-table cooking.
