In the PREPPING WARD

Herbfarm chef Chris Weber, sous chef Jack Gingrich, and dining room setup lead Kayla Kessel load, sauce, close & label Jack’s warm 6-layer Lasagna of Eric Fritch’s Snohomish Chinook Farms’ Pastured Beef with Herb Sauce. Each day’s meals are staged in The Herbfarm Dining Room, which has been repurposed for the duration of the war on novel coronavirus.

The CHOCOLATIER VOLUNTEER

ROB RHODA, Herbfarm Server, was laid off when the state switched off the lights on Washington’s restaurants on March 15. Of indomitable spirit, Rob is -- for the near-term at least -- a volunteer boxing The Herbfarm’s nightly 3-course dinners. These meals are rushed to Seattle-area nurses and doctors to bolster body and spirits in the fight to save Covid-19 patients. Though he worked in government as a graduate of the American University in “The Other Washington", Rob has an extensive restaurant background. Drawing on his experience apprenticing in an artisan chocolate shop, Rob devoted 12 hours on his own to craft these two kinds of flavor-filled CHOCOLATE BONBONS. The 400 exquisite works of art are tonight’s DESSERT TREAT for our overburdened healthcare providers. Thank you, Rob Rhoda! You are a MENSCH.

Itsa ITALIAN

Fresh and hearty, tonight 3-course dinner for beleaguered Seattle-area Covid-19 healthcare frontliners was delivered to the hospitals with an Italian twist: *100% Grass-Fed Snohomish Valley BEEF LASAGNA with the beef from our long-time friend Eric Fritch of Chinook Farms. Sous chef Jack Gingrich rolled the FRESH PASTA from dough crafted of Skagit Valley wheat and our farm’s chicken egg yolks. The lasagna was christened with a succulent sauce of olive oil, rosemary, parsley, and, of course, garlic. After all, itsa Italian! *A Wild-Foraged & Cultivated SALAD OF 10 GREENS with Edible Tulip Petals (vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free). As the tulips come on, we’ll try to give you a tulip petal recipe or two. *Rob Rhoda’s CHOCOLATE BONBONS – Herbfarm server Rob Rhoda’s gift to the meal. We tested a couple (quality control!), and guarantee they'll invoke involuntary grins no matter how taxed the taster. The line up: DARK CHOCOLATE APPLEWOOD-SMOKED CARAMEL and PEANUT BUTTER PRALINE MILK CHOCOLATE. Honestly, the best.
