Farmer Appreciation 🍅🧡 Many of you know that we source our produce from local farms. It’s better quality, more robustly flavored, and safer than commercially available monocropped vegetables. If the foodborne illness outbreaks of this summer have shown us anything, it’s that buying from a local farm is the best bet for safe, fresh, and delicious produce and meat. Our primary farm partners, Fossil Flower Farm in Stow, and Wandering Root Farm in Waterford, are both Maine Organic Farmers certified organic farms that grow some of the best produce we’ve ever seen. The effort these farmers put into quality control also means we spend no time picking out wilted pieces of lettuce, or squishy tomatoes. Their vegetables arrive freshly picked from the field, washed, and inspected so every squash, tomato, and lettuce head is perfect. Their ingredients are a joy to work with.

In addition to being wonderful and generous people, Ali and Mike of Fossil Flower Farm in Stow, and Hannah of Wandering Root Farm in Waterford, are the hardest-working people we know, with undeniable passion for their craft. We’re grateful for their friendship, and everything they do to bring our guests the highest quality produce for our menu.

You can enjoy their incredible tomatoes on our Sliced Tomato Sandwich special right now, and be sure to find these farmers at the The Bethel Farmers Market on Saturdays and the Fryeburg Farmers Market on Sundays! 👩🏻‍🌾 Join us in thanking them for their hard work!

SPECIAL 🍁 Salted Maple Milkshake. Maple syrup from Thunder Hill Farm in Waterford, maple sugar, Maldon sea salt, whipped cream, and an amarena cherry.

We’re not letting go of summer yet, and this shake is the perfect sweet summer treat with just a hint of fall. It’s so good we might have to keep it available for the rest of the season!

Will trade milkshakes for live music 🎶 Max the sax man from Corpus Chicanery stopped by for lunch yesterday and gave us an impromptu show! You might have seen them play a fantastic set at the Norway Arts Festival on Main Street a couple of years ago. High energy, awesome sound, and funky groove that just feels good. We’ve followed them ever since, and you should too.

Thank you, Max! 🤘
