mizzouatheart "Homegrown Foodie"

The Farmhouse is in the former Delaware Cafe space and is beautifully redecorated to feel rustic yet modern with pale green walls, contemporary sofas but dark wooden tables, a black china cabinet and black painted wood chairs. The food is locally grown and seasonal. On my first visit, I enjoyed a veggie sandwich and side garden salad. While I enjoyed the salad, the sandwich was somewhat lacking in veggies (mostly portobello mushroom and summer squash) and thus a disappointment although the focaccia bread was delicious. However, I sampled my dining partner’s french fries with homemade ketchup. Absolutely outstanding, perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside and salty! On a return visit, I ordered the heirloom tomato salad and enjoyed the accompanying mixed greens, fresh mozzarella (divine!), prosciutto, crispy leeks and black pepper-port vinaigrette. Great combination, especially the leeks! I topped it off with a piece of homemade rhubarb-pear pie that was garnsihed with a single blackberry. I had never had this fruit combination before, but the sweetness of the pear and the tartness of the rhurbarb worked well together and the crust was sugary and chewy, absolutely divine!
Next time I will check out the patio for brunch!
