Meet the man behind the amazing events at Tranquillity Farms! Kevin Asciutto, the General Manager of James on Main, saw an opportunity to expand his business and clientele... and never looked back. Back in early 2020, Kevin's restaurant was suffering due to Covid-19. Instead of closing the doors to weather the storm, he decided to build a "curbside to go" side of the business. After seeing success and feeling more involved in the community, Kevin turned his attention to on-site catered events at Donaldson Farms and Tranquillity Farms, in Hackettstown and Green Township respectively. He discovered that with the help of other businesses, we all could create craft experiences for customers where they could safely enjoy and consume our products. Kevin invited Marketspace Vendor Events, Czig Meister Brewing, Unionville Vineyards, Man Skirt Brewing, and other small businesses to join him in these ticketed, sessioned, outdoor events.
