The Farmstead restaurant at Long Meadow Ranch in St. Helena was easily one of the best meals of the trip. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was casual and fun.
One of the first things we spotted when we pulled into the drive was this beautiful green Ford. We felt at home already.
We also loved that there was so much to do at one stop - a great restaurant with delicious food, olive oil and wine tastings, and educational activities, a farmers market and more that were not happening that afternoon, but were part of the offerings.
The beautiful white farmhouse had the olive oil and wine tasting room, along with a little retails space.
I really loved the use of the galvanized water tanks for planters near the restaurant entrance.
It was cool and rainy, so we couldn't dine in the outdoor area. I loved the overhead lights and the great fireplace! The bar stools are also some of my favorite style.
The interior had some vintage farm equipment and those great teal green metal chairs. I would take a whole set of those chairs in a heartbeat. I also loved the cow head hung high on the wall.
Near the front of house area, the open kitchen sits as a backdrop. It was a very, very cool place. And, the food...wonderful! There point of view is a true farm to table experience. They also don't have a large corkage fee, instead charging a very modest $2 per bottle which they donate to a local non-profit. We noticed that the corkage fee when we were visiting went to the local FFA chapter.
