Three Early
Summer Dishes
If you’ve dined at the Inn, you know we’re passionate about fresh, local, sustainably produced food. In light of this, we asked Executive Chef Jim McCarthy, "What current dishes best represent our approach or food philosophy?"
Summer Cheesemaking
When our cows transition each spring from their indoor winter diet of hay and baleage to a summer outdoor diet of pasture grasses, we have to adjust our cheese making accordingly.
Wallpaper Update
Our four-month project to preserve damaged sections of original wallpaper culminated on May 12th. We rehung the wallpaper just as we opened our doors to the Inn and Restaurant for the 2018 season.
