Recently on a trip from Portland, my husband and I met some friends at an Organic farm, restaurant and bakery, called Summer Jo's.  What a lovely property, filled with herb gardens and a farm.  Coming from Portland where the farm to table movement is world class, we were excited to see a place in such a beautiful setting,,  there in Grants Pass.  The lunch we had was uniquely prepared by the chef. 

What we were confused about was the fact, as we walked through the farm and its surroundings, we noticed the aracana chickens, sparce in population.  My husband noticed coming from his own family farm, that there wouldn't be enough egg production to satisfy the restaurants consumption.   We questioned ourselves about what actually was being represented by the restuarant and till this day we still questioned it. 

We also noticed that the farm had just started to be planted and surely the produce crops the restaurant was using were not coming from the farm as stated on the menu.  On my trip to the ladies room,  I noticed behind the back kitchen door, produce boxes folded up and to my dismay not all of them were labeled organic.  Our hats off to the chef for the wonderful flavors, but we are questioning the integrity of the owners of this place called Summer Jo's.
