Greetings!,
One of the many wonderful aspects of living on this island is that we experience definite transitions to all four seasons. After two months of very warm weather (by our standards) we now enjoy the crisp, clear mornings, balmy afternoons, and cool evenings of Fall. The mix of produce coming into the restaurant reflects the warmer climate of Eastern Washington, and also the cooling temperatures of the island. October also brings us National Food Day, and we've got a challenge for you. Learn more...

Hazelnut-Finished Pork
, that's what's new in the
restaurant! And we're not talking hazelnut encrusted cuts pan seared and finished in the oven; no, we're talking "finished" while the pigs are still eating! Learn more... 

"Citrus Caviar" adorns some of our plates this Fall too. Learn more...

Elsewhere in the country, major corporations are contributing over half a billion dollars to the campaign to defeat California's Prop 37, the Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act.

 

What's that got to do with San Juan Island?  Learn more here...

We heartily encourage you to seek out the best of the sustainably grown foods and wines in your area, and take a stand for the environment by voting with your food dollars. Every individual can make a difference.

If you can't make it to the island, we hope you enjoy the beauty of Fall wherever you are!

Sincerely,
Anna Maria and All the Staff at Coho Restaurant
