Chef and the Farmer

Since 2006 Ben and Vivian (he in the dining room and she in the kitchen) have continued to surprise and delight their customers. Working with a network of small farmers, Vivian creates a menu that changes some every week and highlights the region’s culinary traditions as well as its agricultural bounty. Everything from the bread to the ice cream is made in house and all summer long Chef & the Farmer’s kitchen staff puts up preserves, pickles and jellies to be enjoyed all year long.
Ben acts as general manager, builds and manages the restaurant’s award winning wine list, and opened the Wine Shop @ Chef & the Farmer in 2010 to complement the restaurant’s offerings.
Today, Chef & the Farmer is a leader in the revitalization of the community’s downtown bringing in locals as well as diners from all over the state. Combining polished yet warm service, a killer wine list and exceptional innovative food, Chef & the Farmer has earned the reputation of a destination restaurant worth the trip.
