Quillisascut Farm:~
Craig Hetherington, our
previous Executive Chef, got to experience 'The
Sustainable Kitchen' last summer at the Quillisascut School of
Domestic Arts in Rice, Eastern Washington. Visiting this farm
helped cement his understanding of how food gets to the chopping board.
Besides learning how to milk goats, make cheese and eat fabulous food,
Craig along with other attendees, got to make those first hand
connections with farmers, ranchers, and fishermen.
