We frequently have home-grown fruit, vegetables, and eggs available for purchase. Enjoy seasonal produce that has traveled food meters, not food miles. We take pride in growing our own food and are always happy to show you around our gardens and share tips. The eggs we sell on-site come from our own small flock of hens.
