Kitchen

Feeding folks is key to our sense of hospitality, and breakfast is included when you stay with us. We serve an abundant continental breakfast during the week, and on weekends we provide a full breakfast service. Our philosophy is one of simplicity and joy: we want our food to reflect the beauty of the seasons and Vermont’s bounty while sharing the many influences of our heritages and the places we’ve lived. We endeavor to support our community through sourcing from local small-batch producers and cooking with produce grown not more than 25 miles from our front door.

There’s always coffee, tea, and fresh cookies or other forms of sweets available to our guests through the day, and our beautiful grounds provide many places to sit and enjoy a pick-me-up whether it’s an afternoon teatime, aperitivo, or an evening glass of wine.

We think that food has a unique potential for bringing us into communion with place and with each other: for creating an opening to brief but sparkling conversations with strangers, for reconnecting to the earth, for slowing down time and reveling in the little pleasures that shape our lives. We look forward to sharing our table with you.

“Eating with the fullest pleasure – pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance – is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world. In this pleasure we experience and celebrate our dependence and our gratitude, for we are living from mystery, from creatures we did not make and powers we cannot comprehend.”

Wendell Berry, “The Pleasures of Eating” (1990)
