Farmstead Restaurant, Long Meadow Ranch St. Helena, California

PITCHFORK TO TABLE

Farmstead Restaurant is the central feature of Long Meadow Ranch’s new, three-acre sustainable wine, food and agricultural center near the southern entrance to St. Helena in Napa Valley. The restaurant space—envisioned as a social hub for locals and valley visitors—revolves around a central open kitchen and an inviting indoor-outdoor patio. The massive granite wheels of LMR’s olive oil press inspired the selection of a rough granite material for the bar top, while re-used redwood framing from the historic residence at the site provides interior paneling. With a focus on seasonal local produce, the new restaurant features a farm-to-fork philosophy that is showcased by the design.
