Keep it Local, Keep it sustainable
—
The core principle of our food is simple: use organic ingredients sourced close to home and always cook from scratch. Living on an island sort of demands using local ingredients. Often, the best way to eat local is to utilize foraged foods. The island is ripe with ingredients (and with sustainable harvesting practices will inspire us for years to come). What we don't grow or forage on Madeline Island, we source from farms and producers in the Chequamegon Bay area. When out of growing season we utilized preserved harvest and make sustainable choices outside of the region.
It has always been our dream to be able to walk out behind the restaurant or down the street and quickly pull a few carrots or a hand full of basil from the ground. Now, we can do just that. With each growing season Farmhouse grows more and more produce on site or at our farm, Freakfarm on Middle Road. Our kitchen likes to keep it simple and marry authentic flavors and sensory loaded foraged highlights.
