The Herb Farm Restaurant

Fredericksburg Herb Farm is an herb farm (duh!), and  also boasts of a bed and breakfast and a restaurant. The restaurant is a historic rock house built in the 1890’s. The chef  prepares the menu using fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs grown in the premises. With that, it became our instant favorite, specially when we need to detox from all the German food (I have not featured any of those yet, I have to pace myself because there’s a LOT of great ones here)

Like almost every place here, this has a homey vibe going on.

Menu changes by the season. I was going to get the Spinach and Mushroom lasagna, but they ran out (WTH, at 11:30 noon??? FAIL) It infuriated me because I thought it must be that good, and I just missed it…So I gave the menu a once-over and found this jewel. It smelled so good! I can always make any old lasagna. I have no idea how to smoke a duck and/or potatoes THEN smack them all into a pizza and make it turn out this way.  So, this order was a total win, you can tell from my smile.

He’s been ordering that from the last 82 times we’ve been here. He is “that” kind of person. And that is why he has no food blog….hehehe. In his defense, that salad is really good.

Rosemary Pound Cake. I have yet to be comfortable adding herbs to desserts. This is an inspiration.
