Hello, my name is Donna Erickson, Executive Chef and Owner of "From Scratch Catering." It is hard to believe, but I have been catering for over 20+ years, serving hundreds of clients, while satisfying thousands of palates. From intimate dinner parties to corporate lunches and elaborate wedding feasts, I have had the joy and privilege of doing it all. Born and raised in the beautiful and historic T

own of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, I felt this would be the perfect environment to locate my business. Three generations of home-made recipes, using only the freshest of ingredients, have laid a foundation for the From Scratch menu. Add to this the modern touch that will attract any palate, any style, any need, and you have the distinction that is uniquely "From Scratch." Whether it is a full-service event or a quick drop-off, our entire team is passionate about catering. Our warm and friendly style is centered on the personal needs of the client. We want to serve you by putting the “special” into your special occasion. Rest assured, we will do our best to make your event seamless, your meal tasty, and your budget affordable. I must say, we pride ourselves in making your meal look absolutely inviting. Your guests deserve the “wow factor.” Around here, we believe presentation is everything... of course, the taste will have you coming back for more! At From Scratch we are convinced that great tasting food is only half of your expectation. Our mission is to serve our clients from start to finish. From your first call with our event coordinators, to our prep and service staff, you will find an organization passionate about catering and committed to personal service. My staff and I would love the opportunity to serve you. Call today and let us know how we can make your event memorable. Until then...

Bon Appétit,

Donna Erickson

A dreamy September evening at 🌿✨ Guests toured the grounds, picked up a few farm-fresh bites along the way, and sat down to a beautiful plated dinner — every dish featuring something grown right there on the farm.

From cucumber sandwiches and ham & Swiss quesadillas with caramelized onions… to beef tenderloin with mushroom gorgonzola sauce and our chocolate turtle torte topped with Witte’s delicious raspberries 🍓

The tables were brought to life with the most stunning wildflower arrangements by — the perfect touch to such a special night.
