There’s even a foie gras ice cream sandwich for dessert! John and Rose Aschenbrenner, owners of Pleasant View Farm, will be in attendance to talk about their process throughout the meal. Dinner is $79/person, with an optional $40 libation flight pairing. Johnny and the Moles will be back again with live music!

John and Rose Aschenbrenner run Pleasant View Farm in Puyallup, Washington. When the couple retired a few years ago, they traveled to France to learn about raising ducks—they came home inspired and founded the farm. The Aschenbrenners are dedicated to providing high-quality ducks and foie gras by raising their animals with the utmost care and respect, feeding them an all-natural grain diet, and giving them a great home.
