Hearth of Malone is a farm-to-table restaurant that specializes in sourcing the highest quality ingredients, locally whenever possible, and using them to produce thoughtful modern-American food. Bowe and Arrow, LLC used NCA financing for renovations, machinery and equipment, and working capital to start the business.
Chef Jesse Badger, who was raised on a subsistence farm in rural southern Indiana, has created a menu grounded in small-scale agriculture and centered around using everything from a stone oven that only burns local hardwoods to the most modern techniques and ingredients to produce food that is welcoming and delicious. The menu will change seasonally based on local ingredients and requests from patrons.
"Hearth of Malone is, in a way, a tribute to the innovative, hardworking and entrepreneurial people of the North Country," says Darren Gough, CEO, MCM Development Malone, LLC.
