We have so enjoyed hosting these supper clubs in our home. Many thanks to all of you who came and were a part of these special evenings. We hope to see familiar and new faces next time!

NOW SERVING BREAKFAST TACOS AT SCOTTS VALLEY!

BACK PORCH BISCUITS AND GRAVY – COMING SOON TO THE WESTSIDE AND SCOTTS VALLEY SATURDAY MARKETS!

Our menu just got a little bigger! 

Introducing our 2013 summer fare – the delicious and irresistible biscuits and gravy! But wait! It gets better – we are exclusively using FOGLINE FARMS pork for the gravy. If you need an excuse to come to the market (but really, who needs an excuse?) this is the perfect one!

EVERETT FAMILY FARM SUPPER CLUB SERIES!

Thanks to those of you who attended our first in a series of four supper clubs at Everett Family Farm last week! This series is our way of celebrating summer, and the wonderful availability of organic local produce and products that we have at our fingertips here in Santa Cruz County. The dinner kicked off with Rich Everett, owner of Everett Family Farm, giving everyone a tour of his beautiful farm. The weather was perfect, the setting was sublime, and we can't wait to do three more!

Our supper club dates are: June 27th, July 25th, and August 22nd. Email us to reserve a spot, as seating is limited. 

The June menu will be coming soon, and as always, it will highlight the produce of the season.

Below is a picture from May's supper club. Come and join us!
