Summer is finally here!

Summer has finally arrived--heat mixed with humidity! I won't complain because I remember January. Our guests have been tubing the river this week and staying off the trails because of the heat--both great things to do in the summer.

This week in the box from Featherstone Farms we are looking forward to: Cilantro, Salad Mix w/ Baby Spinach Leaves, Broccoli, Cucumber, Radishes, and Kohlrabi, and Strawberries.

Look for strawberries with sourdough french toast, spinach quiche, and broccoli with fresh hollandaise and eggs on the menu this weekend.

Our great local lefse shop has re-opened and we are serving lefse at least once during the weekends! Our freshly picked rhubarb is being put into the delicious morning muffins.

Official Start of Summer!

Memorial Day is over and we are thinking about summer! Still serving fresh morels and hope to have some for at least another week. Rhubarb coming along nicely and had fresh rhubarb muffins this morning. Looking forward to nice weather this week so I can hopefully get work done in the gardens.
Cheers, Marie

May News

Morel mushrooms have arrived and we have lots in the fridge. We plan on cooking with them most days through the end of May or until we get sick of them!! We are also anxiously waiting for our first delivery of the season from the local organic farm in a couple of weeks.

This year we decided to feature "Spring Grove Soda Pop" along with other beverages in the afternoon. This local bluff country soda is made with pure cane sugar and really refreshing.

Commonweal Theatre: If you are coming to stay with us and plan on attending the theatre we have a $5.00 discount coupon per ticket. The discounts need to be applied when purchasing the ticket so make sure to get them from us first.

Please check out the "weekday traveler" for a great midweek special.

Cheers and hope to see you this summer!

Morels!!!

The morel mushrooms are here and we are going to be cooking all things morels!!

Grass is greening up!

Finally we are seeing signs of Spring in Rushford! The grass is starting to green up, the forsythia looks like it is alive and will bloom in the next couple of weeks and the Turkey Buzzards have come back.

Although the buzzards are not the most beautiful birds up close, they really are a beautiful sight to see as they soar overhead. We are about one month away from the really colorful birds to return, but will put our the oranges next week to catch the eye of the Baltimore Oriole scouts as they move northward.

Waiting for the daffodils to appear, but nothing yet.

Cheers, Marie
