At Decant, we believe that the heart of a memorable dining experience lies in the quality of the ingredients. That’s why we’re proud to source most of our produce from Oak Mountain Farm, a local treasure nestled in the hills of Medford, Oregon. But this connection goes beyond a simple supply chain; it’s a partnership built on shared values of sustainability, community, and respect for the land.
The Roots of a Unique Partnership
Our commitment to supporting local farmers and sustainable practices aligns perfectly with the ethos of Oak Mountain Farm. Co-owned by our very own lead server, Edward, this farm is a testament to the power of regenerative agriculture. Edward’s dual role as both a server at Decant and a steward of the land at Oak Mountain Farm ensures that the farm-to-table connection is as direct and personal as it gets.
Regenerative Agriculture: Nourishing the Land, Nourishing You
At Oak Mountain Farm, regenerative agriculture isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a way of life. This method focuses on restoring and enhancing the soil, ensuring that it remains fertile for generations to come. By practicing no-till farming and avoiding the use of tractors, Edward and his team minimize soil disturbance, allowing the earth to naturally retain its structure and nutrients. This method not only supports a thriving ecosystem but also produces some of the most flavorful and nutrient-rich produce you’ll find on your plate at Decant.
A Chemical-Free Approach
In a world where industrial farming often relies on synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, Oak Mountain Farm stands apart. The farm is dedicated to being completely chemical and synthetic fertilizer-free, ensuring that every vegetable and herb harvested is as pure and wholesome as nature intended. This commitment to natural farming methods is evident in the vibrant colors, rich aromas, and deep flavors of the produce we proudly serve.
From Farm to Fork
When you dine at Decant, you’re not just enjoying a meal—you’re partaking in the bounty of Oak Mountain Farm. Whether it’s the crisp greens in our salads, the heirloom tomatoes in our sauces, or the fresh herbs that garnish our dishes, each ingredient tells a story of careful cultivation and respect for the environment.
A Shared Philosophy
At the core of both Decant and Oak Mountain Farm is a shared belief: When we take care of the land, it takes care of us. This philosophy guides everything we do, from the way we grow our food to the way we prepare it. It’s a reminder that the choices we make today can have a profound impact on the world we leave behind.
As you savor your next meal at Decant, know that you’re not just supporting a local restaurant—you’re supporting a way of life that values sustainability, community, and the health of our planet. We invite you to join us in celebrating the incredible flavors of Oak Mountain Farm and the dedication of those who make it all possible.
