Rise and Shine
Join us for breakfast every Saturday morning from 9 am-12 noon in the Creamery Loft. This weekend, we're serving up Scrambled Eggs, Biscuits and Gravy, American Fried Potatoes and Oatmeal on the breakfast buffet for those who like a hot, home-cooked meal. If that's too much for you, try your favorite Traders Point Creamery Yogurt as a parfait at the Make-Your-Own Yogurt Parfait Bar. We also have Hot chocolate, coffee and tea to warm you up as you wander throughout the farm and Green Market. If you're more like a polar bear, we serve ice cream at the Dairy Bar as well as milkshakes all day long
Lunch in the Creamery Loft
Join us for lunch in the Creamery Loft Wednesday-Saturday from 11:30-2pm. We have a unique menu in that we strive to use locally grown or produced, fresh, in season, organic ingredients to create our menu. (Of course, that's true for our breakfasts and dinners, too!)
You'll find your favorites like hamburgers and grilled cheese; but, they are made with 100% grass-fed beef from TPC and our our Fleur de la Terre on breads handmade by Bill and Maria Smietana of Valentine Hill Farm, one of the vendors at The Green Market. The whole menu is available online at www.traderspointcreamery.com. You have to just stop by to see what specials the chef is offering. Last week it was Cream of Mushroom soup made with mushrooms grown by Steve and Anita Spencer of Homestead Growers, another vendor at The Green Market.
The setting of the Creamery Loft also adds to the uniqueness of lunch at Traders Point Creamery. The Creamery Loft is upstairs in our Dairy Barn which is one of several barns on the property. You may be thinking a barn is just a barn; but, our barns are original, refurbished barns from the 1800's that were saved from demolition, purchased and moved here. You can see the original hand hewn marks in the wood and the pegs used to hold it all together. It's a history lesson in and of itself!
So, come on out and spend the day on the farm. You can join us for lunch and the milking, breakfast and a tour, or come for the milking and stay around for dinner. The point is to come join us because we think we have something pretty special to offer whether you are a history buff, a nature buff, or you just enjoy great food!
