Our Spring Seasonal Menu has been out for a couple weeks now, and we could not be more excited about the tasty ingredients and jubilant responses! This menu features Strawbanero Salsa, a spicy and sweet blended salsa that pairs well with almost anything! Also on the menu is Ramperton cheese, a blend of Laurel Valley Creamery Cloverton cheese with lots of locally harvested ramps. Rounding out the trifecta are roasted mushrooms; hearty and savory with just the right amount of seasoning. Pictured here is a Seasonal Enchilada- all of the above plus a filling of your choice. We hope to see you soon!

A little late on this congratulatory post, but we want to give a big welcome and some recognition to our newest worker owner, Jon! You may know him as JonJon, or even as JonJonJon! He’s hit the ground running and is super helpful, cooperative, and always learning. He’s also our newest Board member and has been killing it on our marketing team! Please give him some love when you see him! We love you Jon!
