July Updates

July brings magical moments on the farm.  Harvest baskets overflow with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, beans, berries and of course, the abundance of squash, quickly filling the restaurant kitchen.  The garlic is harvested and we are picking blueberries, wineberries and blackberries daily.  Chard, kale, nasturtiums, tarragon, and lots of basil = lots of pesto.

This is the perfect time to visit your local farmer's market.  Feel the connection to the earth, knowing that the fruits and vegetables found in your garden or at the local market will sustain us through the next months.  It is so satisfying knowing that we are creating food that will be healthy and enjoyed.  What fun to pick from your garden and come inside and create a dish that tastes fresh and is full of nutrition.  The recipes are endless.  Enjoy as you visit the farmer's markets choosing from a  wide selection of fruits and vegetables creating pure wonderment.  This is the prime time of the year for farms to shine.

The rewards are many at our restaurant knowing we respect the earth and honor where the food comes from whether it be from the grower, producer or straight from our farm.  

Join us for a Sunday Supper - a great way to relax.  Be inspired by a menu that features food from different regions.  Our next Supper is:

Whether sitting in our glass conservatory, gazebo or open-air tent, the view overlooking the Potomac River never disappoints.  A tranquil setting, inspired by nature, the venue presents a breathtaking view and natural setting.  Join us for a celebration of the connection between kitchen and earth.  Each course presents inspiration for the seasons and harmony with the earth.  The chefs draw from what the region has to offer, crafting a progression menu on what our farm and local farmers, fishermen and foragers provide.  We strive to excel at turning ordinary evenings into extraordinary ones.  There are personalized touches throughout your dining experience that will excite your palate and nourish your soul®

Please support your local farmers.  Thank them, the artisan producers, wineries and breweries that work with so much pride to provide you and us with outstanding products.  There is no substitute for the simple pleasures that "real" food can provide to your body.

It continues to be our honor to welcome you to the restaurant.
