About the MenuWhat if your great great grandmother was a chef, and farmer how would she eat? In one word: seasonally. The rhythm of the seasons control what’s available, and most importantly, the flavors and nutrition that are at their peak. Farmer Chef Derek Noble will be returning with his seasonal, farm, and heirloom inspired cuisine.
The fruits will be ripe, the vegetables just out of the soil, and the fresh milled heirloom grains will be baked into crusty bread. The dinner will consist of 4 courses, using the products from the farms on the Farm Tour. There will also be a cash only bar serving local ciders, beer, and wine. Vegetarian options are available upon request and must be mentioned at time of reservation. About the ChefDerek Noble started his culinary career very early by winning a King 5 essay contest at nine. His reward was a day with star Seattle chef, Monique Barbeau. He has been hooked on food ever since, and has apprenticed at Lisa Dupar Catering and completed culinary school before age 16.
He has had many adventures following his education, from serving as a General’s personal Chef while in the Army Special Forces, to competing in Army culinary competitions and working as a Sous Chef. His passion for food and family eventually led him away from the fast paced culinary industry, and has led him to reconnecting families to food, cooking and their community. Through his three generation homestead, “A Simpler Past Homestead,” he shares and teaches his passion for food. With his wife June, they also sell produce and give out recipes and cooking tips at farmers markets. About the MusicThe live entertainment for this year's Dinner will be provided by a wonderful harpist, Rhianna Wright.
Rhianna Wright has always been passionate about music. From a young age, she studied piano, flute, and harp, and went on to study piano and harp in college. She graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a degree in harp performance, and she has played in orchestras, concert bands, solo concerts, and at weddings. Her favorite performances have been with her sister, Verity Arndt, in concerts featuring her original arrangements of hymns and Celtic music. Since 2015, Rhianna has also been an active member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a society that researches and recreates the arts and skills of pre 17th century Europe. She has had the privilege of winning and hosting several bardic competitions, and won the 2017 Glymm Mere Bardic Championship. Along with music, Rhianna enjoys arts, crafts, and spending time with her wonderful husband, Frank, her six delightful children, and their family pets. |
