Fresh picked, sweet as candy strawberries. Vibrant leafy greens just pulled from the ground. These are just some of the fresh foods we get from our farmer friend, Dave Pommer of Santa Paula. We utilize a lot of his produce in our bistro, but also in our catered events.
And, boy, did we have fun when Dave's daughter got married in May on his farm in Santa Paula. We know that you know that we love working with local food - so having all the bounty of Dave's farm at our fingertips made us feel like a kid in a candy store. The end result? A menu in which 95 percent of the fruits and veggies came from the father-of-the-bride's farm, where the wedding was being held. How cool is that?
Here's some of what was on the menu for the day:
Jennifer’s Salad
French mixed greens, strawberries, candied nuts & parmesan tossed in balsamic-citrus vinaigrette
Red & Gold Beet Salad
with tangerines, arugula & shallot vinaigrette
Lemon Grilled Chicken Breasts
with citrus-avocado relish
Grilled Tri Tip
with fresh grated horseradish sauce & smoky blueberry bbq sauce
Pommes de Terre Truffade
Wafer thin layers of yukon potatoes baked with gruyere cheese, herbs
& finished with white truffle oil
Grilled Heirloom Carrots & Leeks
with garlic, herbs & just a hint of honey
