In the raised beds behind the restaurant and in the side garden, you will find tarragon, basil, parsley, dill, rosemary, lavender, sage, chives, cucmbers, tomatoes, okra, blackberries, raspberries, fennel, orange, red, and yellow bell peppers, as well as a variety of tomatoes.

Iron Gate Winery. Last year we featured Iron Gate Winery's Dixie Dawn in our winning Best Dish in NC dessert. This year, we feature two of Iron Gate's Wines in the blackberry dessert--Merlot and Blackberry wines.

Catbriar Farm is located in scenic Caswell County. For 30 years, Graham & Sara have raised chickens, sheep, goats, beef cattle, and two children. Their garden has evolved from a family-sized plot for freezing and canning to a full-time endeavor. Since 2002, they have sold produce at the Durham Farmer's Market.
This month we will be featuring Catbriar asparagus and collards.

Terry Walker's Farm is located less than four miles from the restaurant. Terry and his son Larry raise potatoes, corn, and squash for the restaurant.

Iseley Farms. Our good friends in Burlington have provided us with asparagus and strawberries. Jane Iseley's home farm has been in continuous production by the Iseley family since 1790. Through the years it has produced tobacco, fruits and vegetables, as well as grazing pastures and feed for the cattle.

McKinney's Peaches is located in Rockingham County. Mike's peaches are reminiscient of theRuston peaches that Mike and Lucindy enjoyed while attending Louisiana Tech back in the 70s.
