Let’s try the new menu!

The Farmer’s Feast Booth is one of our favorites because it features a rotating seasonal menu which means we get to keep coming back for more. We checked out the Early Bloom Menu, followed by the Springtime Menu, and now we’re bringing you our review of the Summer Solstice Menu!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Seared Pork Tenderloin with corn risotto featuring BEN’S ORIGINAL International Grains Arborio Rice and roasted red pepper sauce. You can grab this one for $7. We saw a similar pork tenderloin at this booth back in 2022, but we’re excited to see this new take!

Seared Pork Tenderloin

This dish had some great flavors that worked really well together! The seared tenderloin looked tough, but it was actually rather tender — if a bit dry from sitting under a heat lamp for a few minutes. There was a nice crust on the outside that had good flavors; it was nicely spiced without being spicy. The corn risotto was incredibly creamy and paired nicely with the spice of the tenderloin, while the red pepper sauce added a subtle depth of flavor without being too overpowering.

And, to finish things off with dessert we had the Peach Galette with ginger vanilla whipped cream for $5.75. This was essentially an open-faced peach turnover (and we’re certainly not complaining!)

Peach Galette

The galette was soft but flaky at the same time and had a nice crunch from the crystallized sugar. The peach slices are fresh and lightly caramelized on top which added a nutty sort of flavor that worked well with the crust. The ginger vanilla whipped cream was such an interesting touch and the ginger added a little spice to an otherwise sweet dessert. We really liked this!

So, is this version of the Farmer’s Feast menu worth a trip to EPCOT?

Overall

Overall, we really liked the two new items here. The seared pork tenderloin would make for a light lunch and feature those warm summer flavors thanks to the corn and the red pepper sauce. And how can you say no to a peach dessert in the summer?! We think the new Summer Solstice Menu at Farmer’s Feast is definitely worth a visit. Tell them DFB sent ya!
