Meadowood Garden Grows, Greens Doubles Brunch, More

MEADOWOOD - Michelin three-starred The Restaurant at Meadowod has just leased new land through the adjacent St. Helena Montessori school with a plan to grow their proprietary garden from 1/2 an acre to three acres in the next year. This means the restaurant will be able to raise its own USDA-certified goats and lamb, along with proprietary grains and crops, while the school kids will gain a better understanding of environmentally aware eating. A good old fashioned win-win. [EaterWire]
