Holy Shiitakes!

This is where my shiitake mushrooms come from. They are fiercely protected by this beautiful guardian.  I love visiting my growers Alice and Rick Harty at Harty Farm in Red Hill, NC.

                 










So here are some brunch options.  On the left is our Fried chicken and waffle with and without peaches and cream.  And bringing up the rear is the fried chicken salad.  That's maple syrup and buttermilk celery dressing that accompanies the fried chicken.  On the right here is a sample of my home made bacon.  I thick-slice rashers from fresh, local pork belly and add salt, pepper, thyme, and maple syrup. Then I par bake to set the seasoning and finish them on the grill to order!
Here is the lovely Wendy tending to the dining room during brunch on the 2nd and we were almost full at this point.

Mornings at Farms



We rely on our local growers for the freshest, best ingredients. We have met some amazing and talented people who are supporting us with their produce and meat. Some of our favorite and most visited spots are Arthur Morgan School and Camp Celo and fortunately they're right next door to one another. We go super early on the way to work. It's beautiful!

Here comes the Wine


This is one of my favorite things...

We were so excited to get our sign!



This is Russell - one of our beloved cooks. He's also really good at hanging up signs!
