Fresh Starts and Farm Tables - A Chef a Farmer and a Menu That Heals More Than Hunger

Sophie Claire Whitmore

Sinopsis

Claire Sutton is done. After years of long shifts and high-pressure kitchens, the burned-out city chef retreats to Alder Creek, where her grandmother’s old farmhouse waits. She wants quiet, not a new chapter. Then James Adler shows up at her door with a crate of fresh vegetables and a steady smile, and suddenly the silence feels less certain.

James has seen the farmhouse sit empty too long. He never imagined Claire would be the one to bring it back to life or that he’d be helping her do it. When they team up to host a farm-to-table pop-up, the tables fill with neighbors, laughter, and something harder to ignore than good food.

But trust wavers when a visiting critic threatens everything they’ve built, and an offer from the city tugs Claire toward the life she thought she left behind. Choices sharpen: stay rooted or start running again.

Is one shared table enough to anchor them both, or will the meal end too soon?
