Philosophy

R E S TA U R A N T  A N D  B A R

There exists today a growing need for
commitment to sustainable food
practices. This broad and complex
area relates to a responsibility we
all share in the stewardship of
our soil, water and air.

We believe strongly in supporting
farming techniques that are sustainable,
organic and regenerative. It is
imperative that we re-establish the
balance between nature and man in
all of our food- producing endeavors.
Current large farming methods rely
on a system of agriculture dependent
upon the use of herbicides, pesticides,
petrochemicals and intensive irrigation.
This system is non-renewable,
non-sustainable and generally non-local.

The cuisine here at
Higgins is truly
rooted in our Northwest soil. We
hope that our commitment to these
principles and to the use of ingredients
that are local, seasonal, organic and
sustainable will nourish your mind
and body. Please help by supporting
our local organic farmers when you
shop for your kitchen. Their fruits
and vegetables represent so much
more than just good flavor
-- they are the seeds of our future.

-- Greg Higgins

"A significant part of the pleasure of eating is in one's accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which the food comes."

-- Wendell Berry, The Pleasures of Eating, 1989
