Collingwood Now Special 1 March 2004

BMW's worldwide promotional vehicle 'ultimateSix' selected Michael Stadtlander's 'Eigensinn Farm' as the number six entry in it's Restaurant category. Stating "... In 1993, superstar chef Michael Stadtlander dropped out of the Toronto rat race, bought 100 acres of Ontario wilderness, and opened one of the most unusual establishments in North America, if not the world. Eigensinn Farm serves eight diners a night, does not have a liquor licence (guests are encouraged to bring their own) and does no marketing. Guests get a nine-course meal devised by Stadtlander that day, made mostly with organic ingredients grown by the chef himself or sourced from neighbouring farms. Diners book months in advance and fly in from all over the world."
Other categories featured in the 'ultimateSix' promotion include Hotels, Vineyard, Recreation, Technology and Architecture.
The only other Canadian entry in the 'ultimateSix' is the world's only log-cabin hotel, the Gatineau Region's Chateau Montebello.
