Campfire Conversation: Our favorite topics are often food and restaurants, and here focus on places across Wisconsin who have a focus on a “farm to table” menu, connecting directly with farms, dairies, cheese factories, butchers, bakers, and more to craft menu items using the freshest ingredients most directly connected to their sources. Eric shared a number of restaurants from Milwaukee’s Story Hill BKC, Morel, Odd Duck, Braise, and Ardent in Milwaukee to the famous Driftless Café in Viroqua. Ana added more restaurants including Sheboygan’s Trattoria Stefano, Il Ritrovo, and Field to Fork Café, which source ingredients from their co-owned Slow Food Market on the same downtown block, which connects directly to area farms, butchers, and chefs. She also shared places like Dragsmith Farms in Barron County, where their produce and microgreens make their way directly to so many restaurant tables across Wisconsin – including interesting items like Harry Beard Tongues. Meanwhile in Jefferson County, Crave Brothers & Kraemer Cheese are showcased for their sustainable approaches to growing and raising food, including anaerobic methane digesters that produce energy, multiple uses of by-products, and even a buddy system to help young calves socialize. Apurba discussed Indigenous farm-to-table options including Ukwakhwa Farms on the Oneida Reservation outside Green Bay and the selections that make it to places like the Cedar & Sage Grill House in Green Bay. She also discussed hydroponics, Organic ancient grains for baking and a number of specialty methods at North Star Homestead Farms in Hayward.
