Meet Our Farmer Partners and Purveyors

We would be pleased to arrange a visit to any of our farm partners
-because these are all working farms - please call ahead to make plans

Wood's Cider Mill & Sugarhouse
Cider, syrup and cider jelly and cinnamon cider syrup - All made on Willis & Tina's farm. A treat to visit anytime of the year - here's a picture of Chef Jason & David with Willis and his son on the first day of spring boiling down maple syrup(and eating pancakes).
Shepherd's Hill Farm
One of our lamb suppliers, also producing honey and wool. They are dedicated to producing high quality meat using sustainable agricultural methods . Raised on grass (with a stunning view of the Ottauquechee River Valley) without synthetic fertilizers, chemicals or antibiotics - the lamb is truly clean, healthy and delicious.
Black Watch Ranch
Black Watch Farm's natural beef and pork comes from animals born and raised right here in Weathersfield. All the animals are grown without hormonal implants, digestive stimulants and are all grass fed. They are finished on steamed corn. They also supply us with our breakfast sausage. The Black Watch Burger in Lucy's Tavern is by far the best burger in town.

 

Valley Brook Farm
A major supplier of our produce, Beth & Steve produce everything from asparagus to zuchinni. Those unbelievable eggs you had at breakfast, and that freshly made pasta at dinner...those eggs are right from the farm, fresh from under the hen!

 

 

Cavendish Game Birds
Located in Springfield, they produce all natural quail and pheasant. Cavendish Game Birds has developed a reputation for outstanding quality and service. All of the birds are reared in open, stress free outdoor pens. The colder northern climate produces a superior finish and flavor.

 

Birch Hill Farm
Producers of fine maple syrup, fresh vegetables, hay, and spring lamb raised on natural grasses. The farm is located on a hillside of the Kedron Valley. Birch Hill Farm strongly believes in sustainable and organic practices. The folks at Birch Hill provide us with an endless supply of fresh salad greens.

Lazy Lady Cheeses
Laini Fondiller has created a number of proprietary cheese varieties since 1993. Giving them names like Capriola, Valencay, Marbarella, and her biggest seller, La Petite Tomme among others. Names, she says, she comes up with in her sleep. It's no wonder, she's dreaming about making cheese. Four times a day, seven days a week she works up a five-pound batch of cheese in her five-gallon vat.
Cobb Hill Cheeses
These cheeses are produced at Cedar Mountain, a mixed farming enterprise owned and operated by Stephen Leslie and Kerry Gawalt. they produce raw milk and organically grown vegetables and flowers for local markets and their CSA ("Community Supported Agriculture"). Cobb Hill Cheese is manufactured entirely with milk from Cedar Mountain's herd of about fifteen Jersey cows.
Coger Sugarhouse Gardens
Primarily a nursey, Cogers provide us with freshly cut herbs throughout the season. Mike and Gayle also provide the flowers that grace our dining room tables. Their nursery is a source of excellent plant material. Their 'farmers wisdom' has been a huge help as we get our own herb and vegetable garden going in our old paddock.
Cherry Hill Farms
Just down the road from us, right in Springfield. Cherry Hill provides us with berries all summer. Blueberries, currants, raspberries and blackberries are all hand picked daily for our kitchen..
