Finally Open for 2010

After a two plus month hiatus, we have finally reopened the restaurant. It was our hope to keep the posts coming, but our intentions have not become reality.

The weather has been incredible, or even a bit weird. Lows only into the 40's, no frosts since December and the garden looks great. Chives, tarragon, tons of fennel, mache, several types of lettuce, trevisio, green garlic, parsley, and that is just the beginning. Have not opened in Feb. with as much local products as this year. The Orcas Island grown Mangalitsa pork and Coffelt Farm Veal are super tasty. The heat table is on and we have been germinating salad greens and snap peas are in. Basil & tomatoes are just around the corner and we are trying to figure out our 2010 pig program.
