Babies and Brunch
Spring on the farm means: baby goats and local food: the perfect combination!
The 2018 Season will be run a bit differently than years' past.
Starting April 7th through May 12th, we will be open both Saturdays and Sundays (9:30-1:00) with a more elaborate brunch menu.
No reservations are required (except for the Mother's Day brunch which will have two seatings-SEE DETAILS AND SPECIAL BUFFET BRUNCH MENU BELOW), and food & beverages are offered first-come-first-served.
Here's how our brunch service will work:
- Arrive at the farm and add your name to "Pop-Up Cafe" wait list board to get a table; if tables are open, you get seated right away
- Shop in the farm store and sample cheese and gelato while you wait for your table OR
- Visit with the goats while you wait for your name to be called for a table
- Once seated, our servers will quickly take your order and expedite it to the kitchen
- Your hot meal will be served quickly and efficiently once we receive it
- Enjoy a house-made cocktail or a glass of wine or beer with your brunch
- Continue shopping or visiting with the goats
