You can’t get more local than this! Chef Katie takes our farm-fresh produce, adds protein from other Iowa farms, and transforms them into satisfying dishes. Vegetables are the stars here, with seasonal sides available for sharing around your table. Each week’s menu includes a special appetizer, entree, and dessert inspired by the farm. Sides change often, depending on what is harvested fresh that week. Posted menus are subject to change slightly as ingredients are available. Bring your own wine or beer; no corkage fee.
