Farm-to-Table Concept Pioneered in Ashland
The farm-to-table movement, a relatively new trend in the restaurant industry, focuses on reducing the time between food being harvested and served. One restaurant in southern Oregon has fully embraced this philosophy and is earning recognition for its commitment to quality and sustainability.
A Culinary Gem in Ashland
Located inside the historic Ashland Springs Hotel, Larks Home Kitchen Cuisine is a standout in Ashland’s dining scene. As the restaurant prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary, it remains dedicated to serving fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the fertile Rogue Valley.
Larks was the first restaurant in Ashland to adopt the farm-to-table concept when it opened in 2005, leading the way for others to follow. The restaurant prides itself on its seasonal menu, which they describe as “a celebration of Oregon,” reflecting the state’s rich agricultural bounty.
Award-Winning Wine Selection
In addition to its acclaimed menu, Larks has garnered attention for its exceptional wine program. The restaurant won the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2022, 2023, and 2024, solidifying its place as a top dining destination for food and wine enthusiasts alike.
A Milestone Anniversary
As Larks approaches its 20th anniversary, the restaurant is planning a special celebration in 2025. With Chef Franco Console at the helm since day one, the team is crafting a menu that will highlight the journey they’ve been on over the past two decades.
Larks Home Kitchen Cuisine, located at 212 E Main Street in Ashland, remains a must-visit for those looking to experience farm-to-table dining at its finest, paired with some of the best wines Oregon has to offer.
