What does “Farm to Fork” and “Field to Table” really mean?

It basically means that you don’t have to worry about additives, fillers, strange ingredients to make the food "taste good". . . before it makes it to your table. Ya, sounds like something you really want to eat up! NOT!

I believe in “Farm to Fork” and “Field to Table” so much, that I wrote my business plan around it. I know that I don’t want to eat junk, and I don’t want my guests to eat it either! So, when you enjoy your meal here at SHY Cellars, you don’t have to worry about what’s in the food you’re eating. It’s natural. It’s fresh. It’s from local farmers and vendors (usually, friends or neighbors we know!). . . folks like Sweetwater Farms in Sugarcreek, Sugar Valley Meats in Sugarcreek, Pleasant Valley Poultry in Baltic. .  .

When you visit SHY Cellars, you will notice the open kitchen. Why an open kitchen? Because we want you to SEE everything we are doing, everything we use in your dishes, how everything is prepared. We have nothing to hide. Period. We pride ourselves in doing what we say! And, don’t be surprised if we have pasta on that night’s menu, that you walk in and see a lot of pasta hanging on racks!. . . that’s FRESH BABY!

So, the next time you are ready to go out for a wonderful evening filled with food and fun, think about what might be on your plate. Is it fresh? Is it from a local supplier? Is it natural or filled with by-products to make it taste good? Is it from a local farmer or field?

Until next time,

Eat Fresh & Local. . . & Drink Well Aged Wine!

Cheers!
