Thanksgiving Meals
This season’s Farm-to-Plate dinners are wrapped up until next year — but you can still enjoy Chef Christian and Janelle’s incredible cooking for Thanksgiving!
Just like in years past, they’ll be preparing a Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner (with your choice of Turkey or a fully Vegetarian option) that you can pick up and heat at home. Meals are available for Two or for Six.
And back again this year: the beloved “Everything But the Bird” dinner — a complete spread of farm-fresh side dishes made with love and ingredients from the farm, ready to accompany your own turkey.
Dinners go on sale soon.

“It doesn’t get much fresher than eating a meal in the very place where the ingredients were grown. Topaz Farm’s resident “farm-to-plate” chefs and culinary power couple Christian and Janelle Ephrem will craft a series of five-course meals sourced from Topaz itself, with menus designed mere days in advance and produce harvested just hours before the dinner.”
Husband-and-wife chefs, Christian and Janelle Ephrem, have been the farm’s resident chefs since we opened in 2020. Christian was born and raised in Ethiopia and eventually moved to Las Vegas, where he worked in world-class kitchens such as the two-star Michelin restaurant, Guy Savoy. His passion, creativity, attention to detail, and unparalleled drive led him to work closer to his food source, bringing him and Janelle to Oregon.
Janelle, a Portland native, also found herself in Las Vegas, where she served as pastry chef at four different Wolfgang Puck restaurants, including the company's flagship, Spago. Her kitchen expertise is widespread, ranging from plated desserts to cakes, breads, chocolates, and viennoiserie. Together, Janelle and Christian create some of the best dinners in the PNW.

“Ten miles outside of the city is the dreamy Sauvie Island (also known as Wapato Island), a 26,000-acre oasis in the middle of the Columbia River… One favorite spot open to the public is Topaz Farm. Their farm-to-table dinners take advantage of the region’s bounty and offer a local culinary experience while tapping into Oregon’s rich foodie culture.”
