As the crisp autumn air settles over The Farm, there's no better time to experience the rustic charm and culinary artistry of the Farmer's Daughter Restaurant. Aaron White, Bar Manager & Assistant Restaurant manager says “carefully pairing a drink with a meal is a great way to round out your culinary experience! Balancing the flavors of a drink to mirror or contrast your dish can enhance your meal by bringing out a flavor you may not have picked up on, had you not paired the two together. This can make a meal truly memorable!” Let’s explore the rich flavors and vibrant ingredients included in the Fall edition of our farm-to-table menu with expert recommendations from Aaron.
