Farm to Table

A Healthy Concern for Farm to Table

Santa Rosa was the home of the legendary horticulturist Luther Burbank and it continues to be a special place in the world for growers of produce and other foods. The heritage of the region has made food a priority and it is only fitting that local growers have shown pride in their bounty and their ability to provide fresh food from farm to table.

“Farm to Table” has become a popular term for Foodies everywhere. It is a reference to the growing concern that food be as fresh as possible with the least amount of processing prior to consumption. In addition to the concerns over processing, farm to table addresses the way food is grown and the various additives that are often used to promote greater yield or to prevent pests from hampering the growth of a crop.

The majority of locally grown produce, including produce grown in local chef’s gardens, can claim to be pesticide & chemical free. Foodies can take heart that a meal consumed in many of the region’s finest restaurants was prepared with only the freshest and purest ingredients.
