🥘🍂 Harvest Season is Almost Here!

We’re excited to announce that our kitchen will soon be featuring 15 tons of Blue Hubbard squash from Ortner Farms Inc. 🌱 Planted around Memorial Day, these beauties can grow to 40–50 pounds each—though the one pictured is still a “lightweight” at about 15 pounds.

💪 Hand-harvested by our local high school football teams, this is a true community effort from field to table.

Starting mid-September, you’ll see this delicious, seasonal squash on our menu. As Chef Lance always says:
✨ “It’s Farm to Family Style.” ✨

Stay tuned!

✨ The grand staircase leading to our Lower Level is more than just a way down — it’s your gateway to Z-Chef’s Café, Zehnder’s Foodstore, our Gift Shop, and so much more. Tucked just off the Main Lobby, it’s a hidden gem many first-time visitors don’t notice right away.

For decades, families have stopped on these steps to capture a special photo — a keepsake of their visit to Zehnder’s. 📸 Do you have a memory on our famous staircase? We’d love to hear your story!
