Join us in welcoming back the landscaping centerpiece of Zehnder’s Restaurant, the famous topiary chicken! The construction of the chicken begins in a greenhouse in the middle of winter, and when the risk of frost is past, it is gently set into place by our hardworking landscaping crew. This year, the chicken is made up of thousands of flowers, and with each passing day of the late spring and summer, it only grows more lush and beautiful! Be sure to visit Zehnder`s of Frankenmuth soon to get a glimpse of one of Frankenmuth`s most photographed floral pieces!

We just accepted one of our first 450-pound deliveries of fresh, locally sourced asparagus! At Zehnder’s, we strive to use local produce whenever possible. Tuesdays through Fridays for the next several weeks, we’ll be serving fresh roasted asparagus as our vegetable of the day. All asparagus will be sourced from Gregory’s Asparagus Farm and Carigan Family Farms.

As Chef Lance likes to say: “It’s Farm to Family Style!”
