Sunday Brunch

Sundays at Beyond the Garden are a favorite for us. It's when we can really experiment with flavors and colors. Add to that a warm breeze in late September, blue skies, seating on the porch and hills the color of gold, red and orange, and you have a very good day indeed!
Today, the Eggs Florentine were served with Barb Strong's homemade english muffins. Barb sells her fabulous bagels, muffins, scones, breads, english muffins and homemade granola at the Common Farmer's Market in Craftsbury every Saturday from May through October, as well as to local stores and inns. The greens, from the spinach to the tender mesclun as well as many of our vegetables and root crops, come from Pete Johnson's farm, Pete's Greens, just down the road from us. The maple syrup, eggs, corn, cheese, other vegetables, honey and herbs are all procured from the farms and suppliers within a 10 mile radius of the cafe. How lucky are we to have such abundance in such a beautiful place?

Today, we would like to thank the following local producers:
Pete's Greens, Bonnieview Farms, Barb Strong and Calderwood Farm Maple Syrup, Stoddard Farm, Robert Linck and Maplebrook Farm
