The Bistro
Chef Edwin French and his team seek out the freshest, most flavorful vegetables and produce they can find from local, family-owned farms as well as our own Kitchen Garden. We also feature locally farmed mountain trout, Berkshire pork from Hickory Nut Gap Farm, local farmstead cheeses, honey, and much more.
