Farm to Table...Literally

Aah....we love farms, we love farmers, and we love the produce they produce. We also love feeding people good, fresh, local food just pulled from the ground. Alas...our McGrath Farm dinner held last Sunday night- where guests dined in the fields, amidst tractors, dirt, pumpkins, and good friends.

Though it was overcast, and the skies grew dark early, our wonderful little group enjoyed an exquisite menu, a tour of the farm, local wine, and one another's company. Here's a glimpse at the menu that Executive Chef Nadia Licea created for the event:


House Made Focaccia, Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar

Roasted Heirloom Tomato Napoleon with Crispy Basil

Roasted Squash Cannelloni with Pumpkin Seed Cream Sauce
Stuffed Squash Blossom
Corn & Sweet Pepper Relish

Fall Spice Roasted Chicken with
Arugula, Cherry Tomato & Haricot Vert Salad
With Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette

Lemon Pudding Cake
Roasted Strawberries & Rose Geranium Anglaise

Eating fresh from the farm

“If the food isn't fresh, we don't put it on the plate”
- Chef Nadia Licea & Rachel Main

Main Course California and McGrath Family Farm invite you to the field for a unique dining experience. We use food and community as a way to generate awareness of the importance and vitality of our local farms and the delicious, wholesome and abundant food we provide. The McGrath Farms Dinners highlight the richness of our local traditions of farming and the often-forgotten value of eating vibrant food – freshly harvested by a dedicated farmer you know and trust.
