market across the street, which often serves as in- spiration for the daily salad or special. The chef can walk across the street, see what is fresh, and transform it into a lunch special. If you order an omelet for breakfast, you may be eating eggs that have been plucked from a chicken within the last day or two. In a world where many
restaurants have food deliv- ered from a large distributor, this is a small batch, per- sonal approach to eating. If you order the turkey
sandwich, you will find real fresh roasted turkey, not processed lunchmeat. There are no processed meats or foods on the menu. Order an organic smooth-
ie for breakfast and you have your choice of milk such as organic cow’s milk, or dairy free alternatives like almond milk. The protein smoothie is a
blend of kale, spinach, ba- nana, blueberries, almond
butter, hemp hearts and your choice of milk. Hemp hearts are the edible insides of hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are popular, said Duncan. They are a rich source of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, vitamin A, E and D, B, fiber and iron. The restaurant is de-
signed to accommodate peo- ple on special diets or those with food allergies or intoler- ances, said Duncan. Some people are choosing
these diets and others realize they have an intolerance. For those customers, this restau- rant is a saving grace, as many menus are laden with dairy and gluten. There’s organic granola,
local organic coffee and organic yogurt. If you’re someone who likes a good old classic like biscuits and gra- vy for breakfast, you can find that here, too. The gravy is made with fresh ground maple and rosemary pork sausage, made in-house,
NATURE’S WAY CAFÉ BUILDING HISTORY
The café is located at 12 E. 7th St., the oldest building on the square, circa 1890. In 1857, the land on which the building stands was patented to Randolph Casey by U.S. President James Buchanan. 1874, Lot #8, where the building stands, was sold for $30. 1888, the town of Mountain Home was incorporated. 1890, the present building was built. 1894, it contained Rogers and Baldwin Hardware store. 1898, a mortgage of $2,500 was taken on out on Lots #8 and 9 for 10 percent interest. 1903, Mountain Home Bank bought both lots and it became known as “The Bank Building.” 1907, it was bought for $2,250 by The People’s Bank, which is now First Security Bank. 1919, the building was divided into two properties. 1926, permission was given to the owner of Lot 5 (now the supplement building) for a building to be built and attached to the stone wall of Lot 8. Papers indicate it was called The Stone Store Building. 1946, building was leased for 5 years for $50 a month until the Bull Shoals Dam contract was awarded, then the rent in- creased to $100 a month. The lease specified that no café was allowed in the building. Over the years it has been a bank, pizza parlor, photography studio. Today it is home to Nature’s Way Café, a healthy res- taurant offering local, non-GMO, and healthy food options.
