You can’t get more local than this! Chef Katie takes our farm produce, adds protein from other Iowa farms and businesses, and transforms them into satisfying dishes. Vegetables are the stars here, with seasonal sides available for sharing around your table.

Each week’s menu (click the button on the sidebar) includes a selection of favorites, plus a special appetizer, entree, and dessert inspired by the farm. Side dishes change often, depending on what was harvested fresh that week. Menus are usually posted on Tuesday or Wednesday. Entree prices range from $15 to $23.

Weekly thru December 12 except May 23, July 4 and Thanksgiving. Join Katie in supporting DMARC’s Spring Greens fundraiser on May 23.

Bring your own wine or beer; no corkage fee. Reservations strongly recommended. Call 515.243.7063 or email Deborah.
