Meet the Chef

Craig Wilmer

A combination of different influences in its purest and best sense does not create a hybrid or fusion. It transcends the sum of its parts and becomes something new.

 

Born and raised in the Bay Area, Craig began his culinary journey flipping burgers at a local country club. He went on to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. After graduating with a bachelors in hospitality management and completing a concentration in farm-to-table practices, he went on a pilgrimage of sorts to France, Spain and Denmark to learn and visit his idols of gastronomy. After returning to the United States, he serendipitously found himself working through several notable restaurants such as Petit Crenn by Chef Dominique Crenn and COI by Daniel Paterson. There he met Erik Anderson, the executive chef. Craig would go on to serve as his CDC at several high profile restaurants in the Bay Area.

 

Now, over a decade since his culinary career began, Craig is putting forth his vision of haute cuisine. Leveraging his unique multi-cultural childhood and his encyclopedic knowledge of technique, Craig now utilizes all that he has learned, from the ancient to the most modern culinary techniques. He focuses on exploring the duality of pairing local wild and farmed ingredients with those of classic luxury.

 

It is his belief that great food should reflect not only a place and a moment in time but also the people preparing it. Furthermore, he treats every ingredient with intent and thoughtfulness, and abhors novelty for its own sake.

Local Produce

Sustainability

Our commitment

  • All the waste from the kitchen goes to our flock of about 80 hens who lay all the eggs for Farmhouse.
  • Joe’s family raises local pigs, lambs, and our annual heritage turkeys for Thanksgiving, and harvests the local honey used in spa services
    and menus.
  • The landscape of the Farmhouse fuels the creativity of our chefs and the Spa. Rosemary, lavender, edible flowers, and fresh veggies at the FARMSTAND are used in our breakfast and lunch menus.
  • Most of our produce is sourced locally from organic farms or grown by our owner’s family, Joe, and Sharon.
  • Chef is very involved with the local growers, ensuring access to the freshest produce.
