A New Farm-to-Table Approach
The term ‘farm-to-table’ has been beaten into the ground. Then unearthed and beaten again. As expressions go, it’s exhausted and in desperate need of a makeover. Which is where Barndiva comes in.
With anything farm-to-table, there is always the hypothetical farm and table, but we rarely see them. Barndiva, a restaurant in Sonoma County, changes that In their new visual approach. They’ve made a short film following the journey of one of their dishes, from the fennel bulb pulled out of the ground, to the kitchen, and onto the table where it’s served. And it’s set to orchestral music, which never hurts. Take a look at their video above. We can’t say we mind the new interpretation of the term, and we think you’ll agree.

I have a serious thing for any food topped with a fried egg, a strange kind of disdain for overly soupy tomato sauce, and I can never make it home without ripping off the end of a newly-bought baguette. Most of my daydreams involve cooking in a yellow-walled kitchen.

What a gorgeous video! My kids and I watched it and before you could say a my 5-year old son was crying about his favourite lamb being killed. I loved the gorgeous plate which was the result of many farmers and producers. Wonderful. But did you notice just how 'male' that kitchen and the whole supply chain was??????
