From farm to table - local farmers produce are served at the Shed
The Machine Shed Restaurant is serving fresh Asparagus and making fresh Strawberry Rhubarb pie with fresh produce from area farmers.
Asparagus is hand picked at Barten Hagen Produce in Muscatine, Iowa. It is at the Machine Shed in less than an hour after picking - never frozen or canned. At the Machine Shed, the asparagus is grilled to order and crisp.
Chef Jeff Grunder has been busy making a Strawberry Rhubarb pie with the Rhubarb from Carl Carpenter's farm in the Quad Cities. A popular request this time of year is for Chef Jeff's Rhubarb Crisp, below is his special family recipe.
The Machine Shed plans to be serving fresh Asparagus and Rhubarb through the end of May.
