In late August, I visited the folks at Two Bear Farm in the Stillwater Valley in Northwestern Montana. The sense of shifting seasons was palpable. The first frost had descended that week. I love chilly mountain mornings; it's invigorating. Cold toes, warm heart, can't lose.
Their peak season was winding down, with lots of root veggies, winter squash, and onions & garlic being harvested.
A few of my favorite selects from a shoot for San Francisco Magazine at the gorgeous San Francisco restaurant Lord Stanley. Loved seeing that they are No. 3 on Bon Appetit's Best New Restaurants this year! Their food is dynamic and innovative. And it's the place where I was introduced to natural wine. I'll always remember them fondly for that.
