Dinner at Be Love Farm
This past weekend Brandon and I had the opportunity to experience our very first farm-to-table dinner at Be Love Farm in Vacaville.
What specifically drew me to Be Love Farm is that they serve a completely organic and vegetarian (or vegan upon request) meal. The cows produce milk for cheese but outside of that, they live a long and happy life on the farm! :)
The owners of the 21-acre farm, Matthew and Terces Engelhert, are also the founders of the Café Gratitude franchise and Gracias Madre in San Francisco. During the productive summer season Be Love supplies about 50 percent of all the produce consumed at their restaurants.
And once a month from April to November they open their doors and welcome the public in for a cozy home cooked meal.
We got there around 5pm as everyone gathered into their home for lemon and fennel infused water along with their own red wine and a selection of Terces’ handmade cheeses.
And I had get a picture of the boot they used as a planter for a succulent. Isn’t that such a cute idea?
In addition to the cows, they have about five dogs who I thought did surprisingly well with such a large group of strangers.
The smallest one was really attached to Matthew and followed him everywhere as he showed us around the farm. He was so cute! I wanted to steal him and take him home.
After taking in a short preview of the documentary that the Engelhert’s son produced called Kiss the Ground, we all went out for a tour of the farm
