Humble Spirit Like List
Former Jackrabbit Like List chef Brett Uniss opened this new farm-to-table restaurant in downtown McMinnville last month in partnership with the Yamhill County hospitality group The Ground, which also operates Tabula Rasa Farms in Carlton.

You know, tag number 118, it was a red Devon. Brenda and farmer Brett raised this cow, it was harvested in Carlton, and now it’s here."
