Willamette Valley’s Farm To Fork Foraging Yields Deliciousness

Farm To Fork at Willamette Valley’s Inn At Red Hills is  a model of locally sourced, sustainable cuisine.
Ingredients used for the fresh, daily menus come from within 200 miles of the town of Dundee, where the 
restaurant is located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, just outside of Portland.  The Inn’s own farm at deLancellotti Vineyards provides most of the fresh, seasonal fruit used in the dishes and desserts.


Executive Chef, Paul Bachand has developed his own local sourcing program that ensures quality, freshness and sustainability while his kitchen provides an ever-changing menu that follows the seasons. Farm To Fork highlights the finest and freshest ingredients from local growers.

Chef  Bachand, has had years of making friendships with local foragers, fishermen, farmers and ranchers which has allowed him to prepare creative yet simple dishes such as Seared Wild Diver Scallops and Braised leg of Clatskanie Rabbit.

Connie Paskavan, Farm To Fork’s pastry chef whose training is rooted in french baking, invites you to enjoy the fruits of her labor daily. The bakery features gems like artisan stuffed croissants, pastries, desserts, cakes & tortes, cookies, and pies. You can grab a cup of Portland Roasting Company’s Organic Coffee while you’re there.

Their Farmhouse breakfast with eggs, bacon/sausage and house made potatoes or lemon poppyseed pancackes with fresh strawberries and chantilly cream will also beckon you as you rise for the day.

Farm To Fork’s Deli features the ‘Cheese Case’ which offers treasures from many local Oregon creameries in addition to  classics from around the world. “Artisan Cheese from the Pacific Northwest”, authored by Tami Parr of the Oregon Cheese Guild, can be found on their shelves.

Gourmet goods and special treasures abound in the deli market that are local to the area such as delicacies made with local hazelnuts, also locally sourced olive oil, spreads, homemade jams and sweet, organic honey.
