The Hauensteins are next-door neighbors to Mustard Seed Café, 567 N. Main St. When the apricot trees at the Hauensteins began to get heavy with fruit, they asked Rhonda Moor, executive chef at the restaurant, if she would like to use apricots for a featured dish. Rhonda sent her sons, Will and Tucker Neff, across the alley to harvest the fruit.
The feature Rhonda created is Apricot Honey Crepes with almond and honey mascarpone filling.
