Building History

Nestled along the historic Chehalis railway, the building that houses Jeremy’s Farm to Table has a rich and colorful history that echoes the spirit of its community. Originally constructed over a century ago as a trucking distribution center, it played vital roles throughout the years, transforming from an ammunitions warehouse during World War I into a bustling grocery store by the 1940s. The Wildhaber family’s dedication to restoring the structure began in the late 1970s, revealing the original wood and brick that now beautifully complement our rustic yet elegant dining experience. As the decades rolled on, the building adapted to changing needs, from housing a health food store to finally evolving into the beloved restaurant and market it is today. Every corner of this historic space tells a story, connecting our guests not only to exceptional farm-to-table cuisine but also to the timeless legacy of hard work, creativity, and community spirit that continues to thrive within these walls.
