Flower to Table Pollinator Brunch Menu

All our dishes will feature ingredients inspired by pollinators: honeybees, native bees, and other insects that pollinate the fruits, vegetables, and grains we love.

Charcuterie Board:  delicious  cheeses from local cheese makers, grapes, berries, dried fruit, and crackers. While cheese is a diary product, the animals that produce the diary feast on grains and grasses that rely on pollination.  The garnish are rosemary strands . Rosemary is a favorite food source for bees. It blooms throughout the year providing a source of nutrition when other food sources are scarce

Parfait Bar: Delicious locally made yogurt, provided by Straus Creamery, with a delicious assortment of toppings to choose from

Roasted Veggies: enjoy an assortment of fresh locally grown veggies roasted to perfection

Blackberry Honey Cake: Enjoy a delicious honey cake with lemon curd filling and whipped blackberry frosting

Beverages: enjoy the flavors of fresh pressed apple juice from the orchard of one of our members and pollinated by Sonoma County pollinators. Lemonade made from local lemons, make it your own by adding some elderberry or strawberry syrup and make bubbly with a little Prosecco.
