the Friday Feeding; VOL. 1

The Feed Loft opens tomorrow!

At long last, the upper seating area in the store will be open to take your soup and sandwiches or coffee and pastry to sit and eat…and sit and visit. The auxiliary room just beyond this space, where an extra seating counter will be, is not quite cute yet. But it will be open to see and imagine…more windows to see our beautiful town out of.

The art show by our own Canterbury Artists lines the walls of the Feed Loft. Tomorrow opens their show “What Lurks in the Woods” Come to see all their work and see the calendar below for a Meet the Artist event.

This is what the room looked like before. It was a garage used to hose off snow blowers. Later on as shown here, it was used for storage and animal feed was sold from it. Now that we are feeding people in the spot that once fed animals, we thought an appropriate name for this room would be The Feed Loft. If you haven’t already come see it now.

Once the far back garage is completed we will once again be selling animal feed and grain in that far back space.

This post marks the first of our new Friday tradition, of posting our menus for the upcoming week. Our kitchen is almost completely operational so let us today talk about food in broad sweeps and next week we will be specific.

Menu ideas for Monday October 16 thru Sunday October 22.

Dave says he wants to make more hot sandwiches this coming week. People have loved his grilled cheese and bar-b-que roast beef. Today he fired up the oven and did some test batches of pizza and calzone. He is using natural dough from Ann at Sunnyfield Brick Oven Bakery in Tamworth. YUM. This might be a Friday regular thing. Stay tuned.

Jane is still finding her rhythm with all the baking then moving into prepared meals. We are pleased you love it all so much! For take-out meal she is thinking that she might do certain themes each day like a Pot pies one day, pasta dishes another day, grain bowls etc. Stay tuned for that too.

We promise to post to FB each day this week what we are making then by next Friday we will be on it.

Thanks for reading,

Dave and Jane
