The Herbfarm believes that no dish can be better than its ingredients, and that the best ingredients are usually local. Freshness is ephemeral and geography expresses itself in the taste of the foodsometimes subtly and sometimes profoundly. The foods and wines of our region share a similar motherhood of soil and weather, making for happier culinary marriages than those from dissimilar climates. The Herbfarm believes that chefs who cook with local ingredientsseason by season, year after yeardevelop a more complete understanding of the foods than chefs who do not. This understanding can give rise to greater expressions of the food, its preparation, and enjoyment. The Herbfarm believes that supporting local farmers, foragers, cheesemakers, wineries, and shermen helps preserve local foods.

New Years Eve Gala

The Herbfarm is to think of each menu cycle as a play. Each play (the theme) is centered around a specic time of the year or a seasonal ingredient. On these pages, for example, the Mycologists Dream focuses on wild mushrooms, ber Tuber on potatoes in many guises, and the Harvest Table on autumn farm foods, game, fruits, and mushrooms. The menu for each theme is this years script. Within a theme, menus are never repeated from year to year. So you can 8 return again and again to discover dierent delights. 8
