| With Her Restaurant Pomet, Farmer Aomboon Deasy Centers the Family Farm |
| While many Bay Area chefs rely on local farms to inspire their menus, farmers who become restaurateurs are fewer and farther between. Second-generation farmer Aomboon Deasy of K&J Orchards is bringing new meaning to farm-to-table with her new restaurant in Oakland. At Pomet, diners are invited into a city haven where they can enjoy a farm-fresh menu driven by the seasonality of California and sourced from her family farm, K&J Orchards, and other small, sustainable farms in the region. |
