A MENU FOR A
Can every dish be sourced or created from ingredients found no more than 100 miles from the dining room? (And when we say "everything," we really mean it!)
WHAT IF THE REST OF THE WORLD VANISHED? What would be the flavors of a cuisine of the "Salish Sea*?"
When you join us for our 100-Mile Dinner, you’ll dine on 9 courses created exclusively from ingredients, wines, and beverages grown or gathered from no more than 100 miles from The Herbfarm. We start with our own farm, 1 mile away. And we end up having to even make the salt!
Experience and taste the real, unadulterated essence of this region unfiltered through outside flavors. Partake in this completely unique modern culinary adventure!
Don’t put it off. Join us for this singular North American dining experience. Reserve your place today!

Brochure
"Salish Sea" is now an internationally accepted term for the body of water comprised of Puget Sound, Hood Canal, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the Canadian mainland. The usage recognizes and reunites the geography, biology, and culture of this region.
**If we can't use pepper and have to make out own salt, you've probably figured out that coffee, a tropical shrub, isn't a 100-mile ingredient.
