  • Andrew Arton

    CRAFTING UNFORGETTABLE MONTANA FLAVORS

    Hailing from North Carolina, Andrew's deep appreciation for food and hospitality was nurtured on his grandparents' Blue Ridge Mountain farm. Tending gardens, working with livestock, and savoring freshly harvested meals instilled a love of seasonal ingredients and the joy of shared experiences.

    His culinary journey began with early mornings baking biscuits alongside his grandmother, the aroma of sizzling sausage mingling with the sounds of the awakening farm. This profound connection between food and a sense of place sparked a lifelong passion.

    After graduating with honors from Johnson & Wales, Andrew honed his skills in Charlotte's fine dining scene, mastering European cuisine. Always seeking growth, he ventured to the Pacific Northwest, drawn by its rich agriculture and diverse culinary influences.
