@@@This Time of Year@@@ The vegetable season is just in the planting stage. Our self serve stand will be back in it's original place, just outside our home near the driveway, under the large maple tree. It seems to be much more available to all of you. Look for our opening with the early crops of Rhubard. We are also planting a pick your own veggie area this year, just across the driveway. It will contain lettuce, spinach, and other assorted cooler weather crops. As always most of the produce that we grow is used in the preparation of many of our dishes here at the Cafe. We also try to do a large enough variety of vegetables to have your favorites on the veggie stand. We are located in Westhampton, MA, directions are listed below and to the right, close to the Berkshires of New England. Our sugar house is open to the public during the sugaring season, which is typically from the end of February to the beginning of April. If you can't wait to get here, buy some online! |

| We make
all our maple products by hand using no additives, just pure, delicious
maple syrup produced in our wood–fired evaporator where others
have gone to oil. Our customers say that this is why they love our
syrup and it has the taste they love. We have been making syrup in
this way for more than 50 years.
Strawbale Building- We are open and serving...
In pictures above, (top row): 1st photo on left: This was the very beginning of our cafe, just the post & beam frame with the workers on the roof (left bottom) Angela, (top left) Missa (project coordinator), (right top & bottom) John, & Dianna who volunteered, as they put up the initial stages of the metal roof. It's come a long way since then. The photo (top row) middle, is the finished work on the walkways and flower beds outside of the cafe. The stone walkways were done by Highland Stonework right here in Westhampton. I am sure you will agree that the stone walkway is an amazing addition to our wonderful cozy strawbale cafe. The front flower bed was done by our good friend and waitress, Ginny, who has been with us since day one. There is an old bench (made from ivy branches) and stone walkway for all to enjoy the wide selection of flowers and shrubs. The garden is absolutely gorgeous when it is in full summer bloom. The 3rd picture (top row) on right is just a sample of what is found in our retail shop. The bottom row (left photo) shows our fire pit that we have burning during sugar season, sometimes on Sunday's and sometimes in the evening's. The middle picture shows the inside seating area of our cafe. The feeling of warmth is present throughout. The 3rd picture on the right is our truth window. The frame is located just inside of the exit door, and the frame was hand carved by our good friend Matt Lesko. Opening the frame doors reveals what is truly inside our walls. We want to extend a great big thank you to all who volunteered their time and energy to this amazing building. Thank you from all of us.... WE DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONAL!!!! We ship anywhere in the United States. Shipping to Hawaii or Alaska is slightly more than will be calculated. |
