Vendor Profile: Feast Catering |
| | Erika Yochum grew up cooking and baking with her aunt and business partner, Pat Sellers. Their first venture together began in 1992 as Harvest Moon Delicatessen and Juice Bar in Plymouth, Michigan. It was a pioneer venue that had a loyal following for organic juices and vegetarian specialities.
Upon moving to Indiana in 1998, Erika continued baking for local restaurants and doing private catering. In 2005, Erika and Pat began Harvest Lodge Catering, selling their now famous artisan tamales and scrumptious baked goods at the Bloomington Summer Farmers Market.
Since then, they've expanded to several Indianapolis markets, art fairs, and local events. In 2008, Erika was asked to be the chef at Traders Point Creamery, where she helped create several new menus and won Best Brunch Spot by Indianapolis Monthly. She has since left Traders Point to concentrate with Pat on their newly re-named and ever growing business, Feast Catering.
