Peaceful Belly Farms in Caldwell, Idaho, was the perfect spot for a memorable luncheon and adventure with four friends from out of town and myself to celebrate our 38th college reunion. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming and inviting outdoor atmosphere. The farm’s picturesque surroundings, including lush fields of a variety of vibrant flowers and plants, lambs, and thoughtfully designed walking pathways adorned with unique artwork, created an idyllic setting that truly enhanced our experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—which added to the overall enjoyment of our day. The peaceful environment, combined with the quaint charm of the farm, made us feel relaxed and connected in nature. Our time together was precious, filled with laughter, reminiscing, and creating new memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend Peaceful Belly Farms for anyone seeking a serene, scenic, and memorable venue for gatherings, celebrations, or simply a peaceful retreat. It’s a hidden gem that offers not only wonderful food and surroundings but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit special. Be sure to visit the farm's store as well; it is full of its own unique treasures!

About the restaurant

Born from a shared love of margaritas and a belief that tacos always make sense. Pig Latin is equal parts exploration and discovery. You'll experience both familiar and new flavors that all lead back to rich Latin culture interpreted by curious American travelers.

The food was great, service was a little slow, but they have only been open for about a week and a half, I'm pretty sure the speed will increase as time goes by. Portion size was perfect, the prices were about average for a restaurant like this. We are definitely going again. My wife had the salmon and she loved it, i had the spicey rigatoni vodka and it was amazing. We shared a salad and an appetizer, the White Truffle Garlic Bread, was excellent!
