You Knead To Eat.

There is something about being outside in the fresh air on a farm that brings out the hunger in people. Maybe it’s the fun pick-your-own activities, the fresh vegetables and fruits in their natural habitat, or spending time outdoors in the beautiful scenery that stimulates appetites like no other. Folks are certainly hungry when they visit the farm and we have a solution for that! 

Introducing our Farmhouse District Food Trucks on our Farm. The Farmhouse District is a place where you can feed your soul and fuel your appetite for delicious farm-to-table ingredients and specialty treats. Centrally located near the parking lot, the Truck Bandstand, and the Farm entrance the food trucks are the heart of your visit to our farm. Whet your appetite with brick oven-inspired pizza made using fresh ingredients from the farm including tomatoes, zucchini, onions, garlic, or fresh herbs. Coined The Ripe Tomato, this food truck serves freshly made pizzas all weekend long. Watch the video for more details. 

Located next door to the Ripe Tomato is the Hen House Food Concession Truck serving up battered green beans and cauliflower with delicious dipping sauces. Classic foods are available including hamburgers, hot dogs, and of course perfectly cooked French fries. Yes, that thick slice of tomato, onion, and lettuce found on your burgers are homegrown items from our farm. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available including our sumptuous veggie burger served on a brioche bun. You can also find specials on weekends such as fish tacos, chipotle wings, and other Chef-inspired creations.  Follow us on social media for these special announcements. 

 

This Is How We Brew It

A visit to our farm is not complete without stopping by the Doughnut Haus Food Truck which is a popular stop for the ultimate coffee & donut lover. Just standing nearby makes your stomach rumble with the fresh aromas of baked goods and freshly ground coffee wafting in the air. Here you will find traditional coffee drinks including lattes, iced coffees, and espresso and cappuccino. Also available at this station are freshly baked doughnuts, muffins, and other baked goods including our infamous apple cider donuts. Make this truck your first and last stop for a cup of expertly brewed coffee and then to take home a doughnut for the car ride home. 

You will gravitate to the location of corn and potato roaster by the delicious scent alone, where you can watch team members loading our own fresh corn and potatoes into a tall roasting machine. Kids of all ages love seeing the steaming food return from the hopper and get slathered with fresh butter, herbs, or Elote seasonings right in front of you. This station is a popular food choice for our guests who are incorporating more plant-based foods into their diets and are looking for something satisfyingly different. 

Once you have gotten your food take a stroll down to the picnic tables with charming red umbrellas to enjoy the live entertainment on the Truck Band Stand. Acts from country western to bluegrass and a little bit in-between delight guests with their performances on the stage every weekend. You can view a complete list of our entertainment schedule here on our website. 

Tomasello Winery outdoor courtyard is a pleasant spot for wine and hard-cider tasting and is conveniently located near the band stage. Stop in to sample some of their amazing wines including the classics like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay to rarities like Blaufrankisch, Rkatsiteli, and Petit Verdot. Hard cider tastings are also available featuring our own homegrown apples from our farm. Enjoy varieties of hard cider including peach, blueberry, pineapple and traditional apple. Sampling takes place every day (in-season) from 11am – 6pm. Visit their page on our website for more details.
