May Updates
May has brought an explosion of azaleas, redbuds, lilacs and dogwoods providing more beauty than imaginable. Asparagus, lettuce, swiss chard, radishes, spinach, arugula, tatsoi, pac choi, dill and cilantro are filling our baskets. Basil is plentiful as well as parsley, tarragon and anise hyssop. We are impatiently waiting for the spring peas, broccoli, cabbage, fava beans and carrots. Strawberries have flowered and the the rhubarb is ready. Soon we will have blueberries and black raspberries. The season has begun and we are super excited about the harvest. The excitement of planning for a summer of flowers, scrumptious vegetables and herbs stimulate us. Although this is one of the busiest times of the year, it is also one of the most rewarding.
We are planting lots - tomatoes, peppers, beans, squash, and more. Just about any edible plant will soon go into the ground. Each day brings with it a new element for the menu sourced directly from our farm.
The patio is open and if you desire, you may have a seat outdoors. The view overlooking the Potomac never ceases to amaze. Regardless of the season, you will experience local, organic cuisine. A tranquil setting, inspired by nature, the venue presents a breathtaking view and natural setting overlooking the Potomac River.
