We were lucky enough to obtain coveted reservations to The Herbfarm’s 9-Course dinner “Salmon Nation.”  This experience is on the same level as dining at The French Laundry for us and it proved to be one of the best culinary experiences we’ve had thus far. We decided to take our experience to the next level by staying at the Willow’s Lodge next-door, which was absolutely lovely. We share the same mindset as the Herbfarm in that they believe no dish can be better than its ingredients. They also believe that the best ingredients are often times those that are local. Location of the ingredients are expressed in the taste of the food – sometimes subtly and sometimes more profoundly. The Herbfarm knows that chefs who cook with local ingredients – season by season, year after year- develop a more complete understanding of the foods than chefs who do not. This understanding creates greater expressions of the food, it’s preparation, and enjoyment. The Herbfarm celebrates local farmers, foragers, cheesemakers, wineries and fisherman who all help preserve the beauty of all things local.
