Becky and I\u00a0have been coordinating with them and working with Maggie Mah to develop\u00a0seasonal menu items that are both delicious and nourishing for our customers. We\u00a0are also trying to emphasize a strong farm to table connection with our staff by\u00a0offering opportunities for them to be involved at the farm and other channels of\u00a0Frog Hollow.\n\nWe are also boosting our Happy Hour Menu by adding a seasonal pizza! These\u00a0pizzas are truly unique to Frog Hollow with our House-Made Tomato Conserve from our summer garden, and Nettle Pesto from our winter garden. It has taken\u00a0many trials to find the perfect topping combination and dough consistency, and my\u00a0coworkers, friends, and family are benefiting from my practice. We also hope to be\u00a0adding beer and wine to Happy Hour Menu in the coming year. Cheers!\n\nThis year has been fulfilling. It has been full of challenges, obstacles, innovations,\u00a0and creations, and I have gained a broader understanding of the intricacies that\u00a0go in to running a true Farm to Table Cafe. While working at the farm to develop\u00a0menu items for the caf\u00e9, I have learned that cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients is beneficial for everyone involved. The farmers profit from their hard work, the chefs are challenged to be creative with new\u00a0flavors and textures, the caf\u00e9 staff gain a stronger connection to the farm, and the\u00a0customers get to eat the garden-inspired food only sixty miles from the farm.\n\nCheers,\n\nAnna","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has\u00a0been a\u00a0year of\u00a0transformation\u00a0and\u00a0collaboration\u00a0for our\u00a0Farm to\u00a0Table\u00a0Caf\u00e9 in\u00a0the\u00a0Ferry\u00a0Building.\u00a0At the\u00a0foundation of\u00a0this new\u00a0concept,\u00a0we have\u00a0our two\u00a0farmers, Marlene and Kristin, who have cultivated a fertile and dynamic vegetable\u00a0garden from where we source our ingredients and get our inspiration.
