Burning Barrel

About

Burning Barrel in Lecompton operates as a farm-to-table dining experience with Brian Strecker as chef and Kristin Strecker crafting drinks, alongside their daughter Opal. Pigs and poultry graze on open pasture around the clock, raised without hormones or antibiotics. Vegetables and fruits grow without chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. An on-site licensed slaughter and butcher facility anchors the operation. Origin Dining unfolds with a weekly changing menu sourced from the gardens, livestock pastures, and local organic sustainable sources. The event season runs May through October.
