🌽 OUR PRODUCE HAS A 190-YEAR HEAD START.
When we say local produce, we actually mean local.
Just down the road West of liberty is Adams Farm, a seventh-generation family farm with roots going all the way back to 1837.
Yep. 1837.
Michigan had only been a state for a few months when the Adams family started farming here.
The farm market itself has a pretty great story.
In the 1970s, Bill and Clara Adams started selling sweet corn from their porch to make a little extra money.
Apparently people liked the corn.
A lot.
Soon came tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and more produce. Eventually the porch officially lost the battle, and the family built the original produce barn around 1979-80.
Today, Chuck and Karre Adams, along with their two children, continue the family tradition as the seventh generation.
And that's where we come in.
When Michigan summer starts producing the really good stuff, our chefs don't need vegetables that traveled halfway across the country.
We've got farmers down the road.
That's why Adams Farm produce ends up in our kitchen.
Not because "locally sourced" looks good on a menu.
Because Michigan sweet corn in season is sweeter. A great tomato actually tastes like a tomato. And when our chefs start with an ingredient that's already great, their job gets a whole lot easier.
We're a locally owned independent restaurant. Whenever we can, we'd rather see our food dollars travel down a Michigan road than across the country.
So the next time you're eating one of our late-summer dishes, remember that the story behind those vegetables might have started long before they reached our kitchen.
In this case, nearly 190 years before.
To Chuck, Karre and the entire Adams family:
Thanks for growing the good stuff. We'll take it from here. 🌽🍅👨🍳
You grow it. We cook it. You eat it.
That's about as local as it gets.
