This Week, in "Land of Beautiful Weather"

Another impossibly gorgeous day today! Cheyanne and I have been busy working on the cafe this week. Between moving coolers, painting walls, sewing chair covers, setting up work stations, etc., we decided to keep the menu light this week in anticipation of our new hours creeping up.

Thursday, October 4th, we will be donating 10% of our proceeds to NOFA-VT's Farm To Table program that helps Vermonters buy local, fresh produce from Vermont farmers. Then, on Saturday, October 6th, we are doing a Cook with the Chef at the Craftsbury Common Market, the last one of the season. We will cook food from ingredients provided by the local farmers (generously paid for by NOFA-VT) and give out samples. Yum! Then on Thursday, October 11th, our new hours kick in and we will be open Thursday through Sunday for lunch and Friday and Saturday for dinners.

We'd Like to Thank the Following Local Producers: Pete's Greens of Craftsbury Village Farm, Bonnieview Farm of South Albany, Bohemian Bread, Champlain Orchards of Shoreham, Robert Linck of Bub's Best in Craftsbury, Wildbranch Farm of Craftsbury
