Alchemy at Grapes on Main

The magic happens at Grapes on Main because we’re lucky enough to have the best, flavor-packed greens and potatoes from Badger Organic Farms, the juiciest Northern Spy apples from Schmidt’s Orchard just on the other side of the Mississippi, and the freshest seafood from Marie’s Trout and Prawn Farm down in Florida.

Even Chef Calvin’s Great Uncle Mike brings in fine blanched asparagus every spring (if it’s a good year), and Chef Sarah’s mushroom hunting mom shares her bounty of Morels just as the wild leeks and daffodils are pushing forth (we don’t even bother asking her where she finds them).

And we couldn’t do without the berries and other edibles shipped in from Oregon or the wildly popular cherry sausage made fresh for us by the straight shooters at Trent’s Meats just a few towns over.


And this points to why there is a Grapes on Main:


It’s all about great growers and artisans near and a bit further away who know how to make the most of the seasons, the sun and the sea.

And it’s all about the alchemy that spins the humblest bounty into a feast fit for royalty.

The Chefs Calvin Childress and Sarah Soell, Sommelier Ben Petersen, our smart staff and gifted musicians at Grapes on Main have been serving great things from the local (and nearly local) bounty for almost a decade and are bent on keeping things fresh. Come in, be our guests, and see what we mean.
