We Believe Te Herbarm believes that no dish canbe better than its ingredients, and that the best ingredientsare usually local. Freshness is ephemeral and geographyexpresses itsel in the taste o the oodsometimes subtlyand sometimes prooundly. Te oods and wines o our region
share a similar motherhood o soil and weather, making orhappier culinary marriages than those rom dissimilar cli-mates. Te Herbarm believes that ches who cook with localingredientsseason by season, year afer yeardevelop amore complete understanding o the oods than ches who
do not. Tis understanding can give riseto greater expressionso the ood, its prepara-
tion, and enjoyment. TeHerbarm believes that
supporting local arm-ers, oragers, cheesemakers,
wineries, and fishermen helpspreserve local oods.

How a ew chives grew intoTe Herbarm Restaurant
With a few pots of herbs,
Bill and Lola Zimmerman
started an adventure that
now spans nearly 40 years.
23
ONCE HERE WASA IME when Billand Lola Zimmer-man purchased an
old arm near Fall City, about 30miles east o Seattle.
Back in 1974, Lola ound her-sel with some extra chives. Sheput them along the road andposted a little sign, Herb Plantsor Sale. People stopped to buythem. In the ollowing years, Lolagrew extra herbs on purpose. Billbuilt some greenhouses. Te littleherb nursery flowered.
A restaurant in a garage
In 1985, the Zimmermans son,
Ron, and Carrie Van Dyck, his wie,he joined Te Herbarm in early1986. Tat winter and springthey worked to
remodel part o the armsgarage intoa little coun-try restaurant.Te educa-tional luncheon program servinga 6-course meal opened on May25, 1986. Ron was the che in thoseearly years and Carrie was the host.
Te Herbarm received excel-lent reviews. Te dining roomwas always ull. Te restaurantsame continued to grow. It gar-nered coverage in every nationalculinary magazine. During theautumn o 1996, Ron and Carrie
built an addition to the restaurant
that housed a spacious new kitchen,ches office, underground wine cel-
lar, and much-needed
new dining space.
Fire and ashes
On a dark Monday night,January 6, 1997, a fireignited by an electricalshort broke out around 8:30 inthe evening. When the volunteer
fire department arrived, therewas no water in the fire hydrant.
Start all over again
Te Herbarm Restaurant andoffices were a total lossthat night.
Months o plan-ning and daily meet-
ings consumed Ronand Carries time.
emporaryquarters
Ron and Carrie ranthe restaurant or awhile rom a large tentthey built on the arm,t a k -
ing the dishes each night toanother city to wash. Later theymoved to temporary quartersinside o the Hedges Cellars win-ery in Issaquah, Washington. For the next two years, therestaurant operated within thewinery while work commencedon the new Herbarm Restau-rant, 20 miles rom the originalsite. During this time, Bill andLola raised ruit and vegetablesor the restaurant. Bill took ill, but
saw the new restaurant almostcompleted. On the day he died,the doves cooed all day at thearm. He was buried with a sprin-kling o restaurant ashes rom hisbeloved herb arm.
A new beginning
On May 25, 200115 years to theday rom the original openingTe Herbarm Restaurant dedi-cated its new quarters. Four hardyears had passed since the fire,
but the key staff remained intact.Te new building included piecesrom the original arm. Ron and Carrie transplantedruit trees, berries, and herbs tothe new land. Te arm tractor
broke the soil on anew beginning, con-tinuing the relation-ship with the earththat Lola had lovedand ostered beore.
Lola passed away,quietly pleased tohave seen Te Herb-arm grow rom her
pots o chives to
a restaurant in
a garage and
finally to one
o Americas
most-celebrated dining events.Sometimes even a ew chives canshape the uture.
