If you've been in to dine with us or if you have been keeping up with our media pages lately, you have most likely seen or heard something about Sycamore Bridge Farm. Some of you may already know what it is, but many of you are probably thinking "Cool, a farm. Farm's are good. But what and where is Sycamore Bridge Farm?"
Sycamore Bridge Farm is a beautiful 85 acre spread of farm land that was purchased by Midmark about two years ago as a hope to fulfill our dream of upholding a farm to plate philosophy at the Inn. SBF is located 2.5 miles from the Inn, right next to Midmark's Riverwatch. The farm features a hoophouse (or greenhouse) that houses many of the herbs and flowers grown on the farm, and a barn that was built in the 1890's and was completely restored just this year. However, the main purpose of the farm is to supply our restaurant (and therefore our customers) with locally grown, heirloom (seeds that have been saved and grown from generation to generation being preserved to their natural and original state), and organic (no growth hormones, no pesticides) produce, therefore aiding in the sustenance of the local community. Thus, our farm;
"Focuses on growing sustainable food and flowers for our local community. Sunshine, good soil, and spring-fed water with a little old fashioned elbow grease and creativity make growing good and healthy food possible. We focus on growing naturally, with an emphasis on heirloom varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers."As of this year, we hired in a new farmer, Deb Borgia, to take over Sycamore Bridge. She does a wonderful job in the fact that she can empathize with what we would like to achieve, and she shares the same goals for herself, both as a farmer and as a fellow Midmark and Michael Anthony's employee. If you would like to know more about Deb and what she does as a farmer at SBF, look up the farm's facebook page and send a message or leave a comment! Someone will get back to you ASAP.
If this message has intrigued you in the least, please stop in and dine with us for lunch or dinner. Right now, we are featuring strawberries, raspberries, squash and zucchini blossoms, rhubarb, spring peas, heirloom carrots, lettuce, patty pan squash and zucchini, fresh herbs, and decorative flowers for your table, all of which were grown and harvested on Sycamore Bridge Farm. Soon to come are heirloom tomatoes of all kinds, beets, potatoes, and much more. As always, we hope to see you soon!
