We’ve decided to open for Valentines day, February 14th, seatings at 5, 6 or 7pm. See you here! Also we are re-opening for the year on Thursday the 9th. I just got back from doing 2 dinners at the Stratford Chefs’ School, it was so much fun to see everyone again, the school is just as classy as I remember it (class of 1994-5).

Very rare, originally raised for the quality of their hams, they do not have a cloven hoof and are very furry. They are eating extremely well and are tilling a garden area behind the greenhouse presently.

The trails around Skutz Falls are especially pretty in the autumn with changing colours of the trees. You can watch the Salmon jumping out of the water, trying to break their eggs while finding numerous interesting looking mushrooms in the forest.

Here are some pictures we have taken this fall near Skutz Falls park. Hope you enjoy them!
