At Farmer’s Table, sustainability is at the heart of every dish. The new menu showcases this ongoing commitment by prioritizing locally sourced, seasonal produce and ingredients grown on-site at the CTI Farm. Featuring a blend of traditional dishes and innovative flavor fusions, the menu is the culinary ingenuity of Head Chef Roland Ferguson, who aims to offer an elevated experience that highlights fresh flavors and culinary creativity.
