Elder Flat Farm

Guest chef Clark Staub loves going to new places. He’s always up for anything – ask him about ferrying all his ingredients out to a sand spit in Morro Bay for dinner a few years back – and we love any excuse to bring him along with us. This will be Chef Clark’s tenth dinner with us (we’ll also see him earlier this season in Big Sur), and that doesn’t count his appearances at Coachella. He’s definitely an OITF favorite. Elder Flat Farm is a new stop on the schedule. When we saw that little chick on their website, we couldn’t resist. In addition to a flock of laying hens, Farmer Carla also tends four-legged animals (sheep, cattle, and a dairy cow), a one-acre market garden of vegetables and flowerbeds, an orchard, and a berry patch. Clark will be in heaven, and so will you.
