Join us for a time to remember!

Takeout and Delivery Schedule for July 12, 2025

We are open from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Today marks the final day for our Takeout and Delivery service. While we’ve gained valuable insights from this part of our business, we’ve chosen to concentrate our efforts on our monthly Heritage and Harvest Suppers and local farmers’ markets. We appreciate your understanding and support, so please stay tuned for exciting updates ahead. Thank you.

 

Best Regards,
