"Eric Skokan doesn’t merely source from local farms — he is the source, with a 425-acre property where he and his wife, Jill, grow more than 200 organic crops; mill their own grains; and raise heritage breeds of pigs, chickens, and more to supply his gem of a contemporary bistro. In fact, his farm is currently serving as Black Cat’s dining room, with dinner served at private tables in the historic blacksmith barn, garden cabanas, or patio pergola. Book the daily three-course dinner, or keep it casual at Skokan’s rustic gastropub, Bramble & Hare, located on Pearl Street Mall." - Rebecca Treon, Josie Sexton, Ruth Tobias, Nisa Sedaghat
