(FOX 9) - Stephanie Hansen explores true farm-to-table dining with a visit to Tangletown Gardens and Wise Acre Eatery, getting an up-close look at the closed-loop agricultural system that fuels their Minneapolis restaurant.
A tour across the farm with Farmer Dean highlights free-ranging Scottish Highland cattle, expansive vegetable fields, solar-powered chicken pastures (dutifully protected by resident geese), and year-round greenhouses.
Next, the journey moves from the field to the kitchen as Chef Dan crafts Wise Acre's fan-favorite Brunch Bowl, followed by a colorful carrot-feta salad topped with edible flowers.
Back at home, Stephanie brings the farm-fresh momentum indoors by creating a simple, savory asparagus tart using asparagus from her own garden.
