A Fresh Take on Farm-to-Table Dining
In Episode 29 of Where to Eat, hosts Zakk Daniels & Dave Bishop head to downtown Alexandria, MN, to experience something a little more elevated—but still packed with Midwestern heart—at La Ferme, a cozy farm-to-table restaurant located at 613 Broadway Street.
Tomato Soup
Chef-Owned and Community Grown
Opened by husband-and-wife team Matthew and Amber Jensen 13 years ago, the family -owned business La Ferme brings seasonal freshness to every dish by sourcing ingredients directly from local producers.
This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of small farms, quality ingredients, and thoughtful cooking.. and it goes beyond the restaurant with their Table-To-Farm venture “The Crowded Table” bring the table and crowd literally to the farm for unique food experience that goes beyond the farm-to-table experience of locally sourced ingredients.
Whether you’re looking for a comforting grilled sandwich or something a little more gourmet, La Ferme’s casual lunch menu surprises and delights with every bite.
The Food Adventure
Zakk and Dave explore the lunch menu in true Where to Eat fashion—sampling a spread of La Ferme’s signature soups, salads, and specialty sandwiches.
The Local
Zakk Daniels
“I didn’t think a sandwich could blow my mind… until now. Its called the Local  Absolute flavor bomb of freshness, and that Tomato Basil Soup yum”
The Cuban
Dave Bishop
“One of my all-time favorite sandwiches is the Cuban. La Ferme does it right, the home-made mayo is the perfect way to top it off.  And the chunky tomatoes in the tomato basil soup adds a new dimension to the classic.”
The Bizzo Burger
Derek Sidian
“La Ferme’s local ingredients really add to the flavor of the food and the restaurant. Their Bizzo Burger was an absolutely unique mix of flavors and taste.”
From the savory Cuban to the decadent cookies , everything tells a story of fresh ingredients and a chef’s passion for quality.
Cookies
Beyond the Plate
La Ferme doesn’t just serve lunch. They offer a unique market section featuring farm-fresh eggs, sourdough bread, sauces, and even bulk meats and baked goods—sourced from local farms like Full Circle Farm in Starbuck.
At night, the space transforms to host Happy Haus BBQ, where BBQ fans can indulge in ribs, brisket, and pulled pork Thursday–Saturday evenings.
La Ferme also brings people together in creative ways—from cooking classes and in-home dinners to wine tastings and The Crowded Table farm dinners hosted right at local agricultural sites.
