Our May Farm Boxes feature some of the first strawberries of the year. To celebrate, Katina has shared a special memory from her time in Japan with Chef Kyle and their young family. Read on below and to pre-order your SingleThread Farm Box for pick-up on Saturday May 21st or May 28th, visit our Tock page.

Strawberry season takes me back to a tiny fishing village called Toyoura in the northern island of Japan where we raised our young family. The town of Toyoura faces volcanic Uchiura Bay at the edge of the North Pacific Ocean and is famous for hotate and ichigo (scallops and strawberries). It is here my love of agriculture began to take shape with the sweet perfection of a single strawberry.

Memories of golden summer days and sticky strawberry smiles on our daughters' faces warm my heart to no end. Every year I strive to grow strawberries as sweet, juicy, and desirable as the strawberries of Toyoura. Perhaps it's the challenge of trying to crack the Japanese farming code of growing them so undeniably perfectly. Or more likely, it's a quest fueled by nostalgia to transport myself back to that time on the island where I learned the grace of seasonality, an unwavering love of agriculture, and unlocked the person I was meant to be. I hope these strawberries bring you so much joy.

With love, Katina

Chef Kyle is thrilled to welcome good friends Chef Val Cantu of Californios in San Francisco, and Chef Jorge Vallejo of Quintonil in Mexico City, for a special collaboration dinner at SingleThread on Thursday, May 19th. 

The 10-course tasting menu will showcase the combined influences of Chef Val, Chef Jorge, and Chef Kyle Connaughton. Due to the specific nature of the dishes, unfortunately we will be unable to accommodate a vegetarian or vegan menu. Optional alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage pairings will be available.

The tasting menu price is $425 per person, with the addition of taxes and a 20% gratuity. This purchase in non-refundable and all bookings are final.

Bookings are available on Tock starting April 1st at 9am PST. 

The farm team is delighted to continue to offer our community the opportunity to experience the bounty of spring through a SingleThread Farm Box during the month of May.  

Inspired by the vibrant colors on the farm, the May Farm box includes some of our favorite pantry staples, created by our talented restaurant team, and jarred up for you to enjoy at home. The Farm Box also features seasonal produce and flowers from the very same farm that is the foundation for our work at the restaurant. Our Anniversary Ale, in collaboration with Russian River Brewing, is also available to purchase as a supplement. 

Priced at $95 the Farm Box is available for purchase on Tock. Pick-up is available at SingleThread Restaurant on four occasions: Saturday 5/7, 5/14, 5/21 and 5/28. Please select your desired pick-up window at checkout. At this time we are unable to offer shipping or delivery.
