The Bees Knees Café

Lunch on the farm! On weekends, from Memorial Day to Columbus Day weekend, we offer a full café lunch menu. Sit out at the shaded picnic tables and enjoy the mountain views, or relax inside our 1820s farmhouse. We feature our own meat and poultry products as well as seasonal foods from other local and regional farms. Each week, there is a changing menu of salad platters, paninis, hearty sandwiches, soups and specialty hot dishes. Try a cheese platter with offerings from regional cow, sheep and goat dairies with charcuterie of our own meats on a bed of organic greens. Our award winning Oink and Moo Chili is always available. Our homemade breads and desserts with local fruits and flours are delicious. We carefully plan our weekly special dishes around what vegetables, fruits, meats and poultry are available that week! You can always eat here or take out.

Note:  We are really enjoying the wonderful turnout this season. Although it is not necessary, a reservation is appreciated.

The Other, Cooler Half of the Year- October through May
We move inside for the cooler part of the year. Late October through May, we invite you to our "Soup Kitchen." Each Saturday, we offer a steaming crock-pot of a comforting soup or stew, our near-famous Oink and Moo Chili, homemade bread and dessert. Help yourself, have seconds, sit and chat with friends, old and new. Store and Kitchen open 11am-3pm every Saturday.

Catering!
We will cater your home party or organization's luncheon with local foods! Specialties from the Café or dishes we conjure up just for you can be provided. Contact Carol to explore the idea!
