A truly un*fork*gettable experience!…read more To kick off our foodie adventure, we boarded a school bus for a short shuttle ride to McDonald Farm. Already giddy with anticipation, I was like a kid en route to a field trip -- practically dancing in my seat with excitement! Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a delightful puff pastry topped with a flavor-packed tomato jam and filled with a surprising fresh cow cheese "quark" (akin to cottage cheese). And amused my bouche was after just a taste - especially when paired with Chateau Chantal's "Tonight" (a light, sparkling wine). We hadn't even begun the tour, and already I was marveling at the farm's beauty - a perfect marriage of elegance and casual simplicity. From the repurposed wood barrels (posing as cocktail tables!) and dozens of glowing tea-lights...to the charming paper-bag-lantern pathway...and the acres and acres of picturesque land - it was an amazing backdrop for the beautiful evening ahead. The tour opened with some insight into the farm's history and their partnership with The Conservation Foundation (dedicated to preserving open space) and Green Earth institute (committed to promoting healthy eats and sustainable farming), before leading us onto the field for (drumroll) - picking our own cherry tomatoes! It was quite awe-inspiring to harvest my own little tomato and enjoy it in its most fresh state - right off the vine! Sweeter and less acidic than their store-bought counterparts - these were truly the best tasting tomatoes I've had the pleasure of enjoying! Though I could have easily spent hours sitting in the field, popping cherry tomatoes like candy - we were ushered into one of the dining tents. With the candlelit tables (via tea-lights in mason jars!) and romantic string-lighting - it could just as easily double as a wedding reception venue. A couple did actually exchange vows on-site today, and enjoyed the meal as their wedding dinner (genius!). And now...the meal! Everything down to the honey topping the dessert was locally sourced - which is sure to be appreciated by your taste buds! We kicked off the feast with an apple-onion soup (served as an apple-sauce-y puree) topped with gruyere croutons and crispy bacon pieces. A truly inventive and delicious dish! I opted for the wine pairing (as opposed to the beer) - and the Pinot Blanc complemented the soup wonderfully. We were then treated to a gorgeous mix of arugula, pickled cucumber and radishes - topped with shaved goat cheese and a sprinkling of pepitas. No exaggeration - THE BEST salad ever! Non-existent was the slight bitterness that I've come to know with store-bought arugula - these greens were delightful! The pickled cucumber had all the flavor of a good 'ol dill, but with a freshness that you'd be hard-pressed to find in a jar. Though I was skeptical about the radishes - these were unlike any I've ever had. Perfectly crunchy, with a clean (and slightly spicy) taste - I was surprised at how much I liked them. Another testament to the powers of fresh, organic, sustainably-farmed produce I'm sure! And as my wine accompaniment, the Proprietor's Reserve Trio - a full-bodied blend of merlot, cabernet franc and pinot noir (a must-try for red wine enthusiasts). Now, when reading the description for the next menu item - I was doubtful that I would be a fan: "Roasted Beet, Eggplant and Fennel with Mixed Pears and Creamed Tatsoi." Another pleasant surprise! Though on its own, the beet, eggplant, and pear mixture was a bit overpowering - the addition of the creamed tatsoi (a cross between spinach and bok choy) was the magic ingredient which brought the entire dish together. And the Malbec (a deep red wine) was so visually pleasing alongside this dish! For our main course we were served a heaping plate of honey roasted pork, thin-sliced and cooked to a juicy perfection. As a pop of flavor amongst the pile of pork - a cheery yellow candied jalapeno squash. Loved this - it was like sweet yellow pepper flavor meets the snappiness of a fresh zucchini. And as a nice contrast to the heaviness of a meat dish - the lighter Proprietor's Reserve Pinot Gris. And finally, the piece de resistance - the dessert! When the "Brown Butter Berry Tart" finally arrived - I knew it had been worth the wait. Made with unbelievably fresh berries - and with a tartness that rivals even the most sour-face-inducing desserts I'd had in the past - this was a happy way to end the meal. Topped with a honey-basil yogurt and a balsamic-infused caramel - it was simply divine. And as my final wine pairing, a pleasantly sweet Riesling to complement the berry tart -- a fabulous closing toast to an excellent night! A sincere THANK YOU to Candice G. and Yelp for honoring me with the chance to partake in the Farm to Fork experience! As a result, I've decided that I now want to either (1) own a farm; (2) live on a farm; or at the very least, (3) continue to support such initiatives (probably the most feasible :)

After parking in the nearby Kingsley Elementary school lot, we were whisked away via magic school bus a half mile away to the farm. Stepping off the bus steps, we were met with the familiar odor of campfire. We followed our noses to the crowd gathered around an outdoor lobby area where diners mingled and sipped on beer or champagne and nibbled on the amuse bouche, a Puff Pastry fill with Cow Cheese Quark topped with tomato jam. The Quark is very similar to cream cheese. Alcohol by Chateau Chantal and Two Brothers Brewing were Tonight Champagne and the specially made Pale Ale, just for Farm to Fork. Lucky us! After warming up a bit we were led into the fields where we learned about the Conservation Foundation and the Green Earth Institute from farmer Martin Lemos. We were allowed to pick some of the cherry tomatoes right off the vine and eat them! Careful not to overeat we were led into one of the greenhouses which were converted into dining areas. String lighting and white tablecloths, you couldn't have guessed that a dinner this elegant was happening here. We were shown to our seats and the parade of food started making it's way through. The food was lovingly made by Valerie Bolon, who has quite an impressive resume, having been through the kitchens of Emeril's, Gordon, and MK, one of my favorite restaurants! Our first course was an Apple Onion Soup, with Gruyere croutons and Bacon as garnish. I would never think to pair those two together as a soup base, but it works very well, neither flavor overpowering the other. The meaty bacon and salty croutons also helped to balance the sweet/salty profile. Since I went with the beer pairing, Cane and Ebel was the accompanying pour. Sweet, creamy, latte-like. this was one of my favorites. Salad course was Arugula, Pickled Cucumber, Radishes, Goat Cheese and Pepitas. The best salads I've ever had in my life contained arugula, and this was no exception! So many flavors on one plate, peppery, sweet, acidic, nutty, sweet, and explosion of taste. So good. Paired with this was Prairie Path, a blonde ale. Sweet and minorly bitter finish and sort of light, it was almost citrusy. Vegetable course was a Roasted Beet, Eggplant and Fennel with Mixed Pears and Creamed Tatsoi. At first when I saw this on the menu, I thought it said Roasted BEEF. Score! Bonus! Negative. It was Roasted Beet. With a T. But it was okay actually. I take it back, it was good, considering I'm not the biggest fan of beets. The fennel did surprise me though, I've never had fennel as crisp as this, since I usually eat it cooked. With a light licorice flavor, lighter than I expected. The creamed tatsoi also helped to add balance to the sweet flavored vegetables. Tatsoi is kind of a cross between bok choy and spinach. Domaine Dupage was served with this course. Smelled almost like iced tea, this beer did. Tart and caramel flavored. The meat course! And my favorite meat, PORK. Love pork. Honey Roasted Pork with Candied Jalapeno Squash? Thank you sir, may I have another? Perfectly roasted pork renders enough fat out that you don't feel like you're eating something too unhealthy, and still leaves enough fat to push the flavor. THIS WAS PERFECTLY ROASTED...The squash was good too, but it was the second fiddle to that pork GOOD GOD. I regret that I couldn't clean off my plate due to the shrinking capacity of my stomach during an epic meal as this was. Outlaw IPA was the beer, starting to get buzzed was I. Citrus and pine scented, medium to full body, I wasn't sure if it was this particular beer or just all the beer I drank that was getting me full. Oh yeah, and the food too. I don't know. AND THE BIG FINISH! Brown butter berry tart with Honey Basil Yogurt and Balsamic Caramel. Talk about everything in balance! I'm a libra, this must be why I'm obsessed with everything balancing. When I first looked at the dish, I saw the yogurt and thought someone accidentally put tzatziki sauce on my tart. And then I forked a bit of it and tasted it. HOLY MOTHER NATURE! You know when you're finished with dinner and you don't even finish your dinner, then you see dessert and think, "I don't have room" but you demolish your dessert with reckless abandon? That was me. Stuffed to capacity, I somehow found the space to fit this in, along with the beer, the Ebel's Weiss. Unfiltered and very strong banana flavor, at this point, I can't tell if I'm smelling or tasting it. I smashed it. The things I loved about going to this event/dinner was the fact that all components of the dinner were locally sourced within 125 miles and we shared a table with people from all walks of life, had great conversations with everyone and thoroughly enjoyed everyone's company. Farm to Fork is a great thing, support sustainable agriculture!

The kitchen is all the way visible, with nothing to hide. A number of Doner roasters and fryers on the back wall, and through the glass all of the preparation bins were RIGHT THERE. It all looked superb and fresh. The billboard menu above was easy to read, although if you don't know what Bashka or Mansaf is, you're not going to find out anything there. The Gal behind the counter (at least on the day I was there) seemed to not have the best command of English, although she was most polite and professional. I had never heard of a "Puffy" Pita, so of course I swung with a "Crispy Puffy Lamb Pita with Everything". They were making Falafels for another order, and they looked swell, so I piped an order of 3 as a side dish. Upon walking in, there was a cart that had an assortment of Middle-Eastern Pickles (Which I have a remarkable affinity for). When you order them, they hand you a clamshell and you return to the cart to "Pick your own". A perfect diversion while your food is prepared to order. There was a pile of fab-looking Baklavas in clamshells in the ordering window, and they were SO fab-looking I had to throw one in on my order. Well. I got in the car and HAD to try one of the Falafels while they were hot and crispy (Wife was driving). Need to say, these might have been the best Falafels I've ever had. Chock full of flavor, with a mighty crunch, and this was even without a dunk in the provided Tahini sauce. I savaged the entire order of 3 before we got home. The "Crispy Puffy Lamb Pita" was a handful, and it too, was a flavor extravaganza. I don't know exactly what constitutes a "Crispy Fluffy Pita", but this one was really delish. On another, later visit I had just a "Puffy Lamb Pita" which was notch below the Crispy morsel, but still yum. The Garlic and Pomegranate sauces on the side were tasty, but the CripsyPuffy really did not need any help in the flavor department. Wife had procured me a Hot Tender from "Fry The Coop" a few doors down from Hello Shawarma here, and I was dipping it in the Hello Shawarma sauces to the Chicken Tender's advantage. The Baklava was, as it turned out, not simply good, it was OUTSTANDING! Full disclosure, with the absence of Arak on my booze shelf, I substituted a nice glass of Ouzo on the rocks to quaff with my meal, and it was a perfect call So I'm throwing 5 for this fab chain, a fine mid-eastern meal indeed!
