Guest Chefs I have the greatest respect for chefs that can take my simple list of farm produce, herbs, and edible flowers and turn them into gustatory heaven! This year we are privileged to have several amazing local chefs that are passionate about local food and preparing seasonal menus. You will enjoy watching them in the outdoor kitchen, hearing their stories, and feasting on a meal prepared with their incredible culinary talents! Chef Eric Wright is returning this year and will be preparing the meal on June 13 and 27, July 11, and August 8. Eric has over 20 years' experience in the Seattle/Eastside restaurant community, including the W Hotel, Sorrento Hotel Hunt Club, and executive chef for Cactus restaurants. A graduate of Seattle Central Community College Culinary Arts, Eric spent a year sampling the gastronomic delights of Europe and South Africa and is now the general manager of the Microsoft flagship cafe and a founding member of the Slow Food Snoqualmie Valley Convivium. His menu from last year was outstanding and received wonderful reviews. Read all about it in the July 12 journal. Preparing the meal for our July 25th and August 22 dinners, Olaiya Land is the owner of her own catering company and has cooked for the Boat Street Cafe and La Medusa in Seattle, as well as other establishments in Boston and Brussels. She also teaches cooking classes. Olaiya has an amazing breadth in her culinary repertoire with influences from her Midwest grandmother's kitchen to Europe. September 12th, Becky Selengut, chef, author, teacher, and blogger extraordinaire, will bring her many talents to your table. Becky cooked at The Herbfarm for three years so you can bet with Jerry Traunfeld's influence there will be edible flowers and herbal delights on her menu. Josh Henderson, of Skillet fame, is our chef for September 26. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in 1998, he started his mobile restaurant in 2007 with the goal "to provide seasonally relevant, locally sourced and impeccably executed bistro style food." You will find the renovated Airstream trailers in numerous locations around Seattle, and Josh here on the farm the 26th! Wineries We are featuring many of the local wineries this year.

FAQ What can I expect at a farm dinner? As our guests arrive, they're personally welcomed by the farmers, David and Cindy Krepky, and offered a glass of bubbly of the alcoholic or non-alcoholic variety. When everyone has arrived, we begin with a guided tour of our farm. Tours generally run 30 to 45 minutes. Guests are then seated for the meal prepared by our chefs. Dinner is served with wines paired to each course.
