LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Goshen restaurant has a new owner.

Steve Wilson and Laura Lee Brown sold the hospitality operations of Hermitage Farm, including Barn8 restaurant, to husband and wife team Steve Brooks and Cara Osborne along with a group of investors, as reported by our partners at Louisville Business First.

Osborne is the founder of Blaize & Brooks whiskey brand.

Wilson and Brown will retain ownership of Hermitage Farm, which they bought from horse owner Carl Pollard in 2010.

The award-winning Barn8 offers a seasonal, farm-to-table menu using ingredients from the farm. The restaurant's Bourbon Bar & Lounge features rare whiskeys and aged bourbon from its small batch program.
