Did you know? Many of the fresh herbs we use at Zehnder`s are grown in small gardens right on our front porch! We’re proud to use fresh, local ingredients whenever possible. As Chef Lance likes to say: “It’s farm to Family Style!”

For all the green thumbs out there, do you recognize any of these herbs?
