Behind the Scenes at The Homestead...

An amazing dish is not something that just happens; it is crafted from the best ingredients. Here, at The Homestead, we believe that an amazing dish is born from its details... and that is why we craft and create even the most basic of all our ingredients: chicken stock. With local chicken and bright, fresh veggies, it is one of the building blocks of many of our delicious offerings.  Watch as we make our chicken stock!
