Homemade Pizza delivery to your cottage (Lunch or Dinner) : The dough is made from scratch and takes 3 hours to rise so we need advance notice on these!

Made from a family recipe with flax, whole-wheat, unbleached and a variety of nutritional heirloom flours, these country loaves are healthy and delicious. Many guests order two : one for their stay and one to take home. No preservatives are used but these loaves keep for 7-10 days in the fridge but we're betting they don't last that long! Baking days are normally at the beginning of each weekend but check with us during your stay to see what we have. Makes a great gift! $5.00/loaf. Our Cranberry and Nut Bread is great too! $8.75/loaf
Home Made Pickles: Sweet and sour pickles, beet pickles, jalapeno pickles (great in grilled cheese sandwiches), green tomatoe pickles, okra pickles... ask what we have! $5.50/pint Fresh Blueberries & Concord Grapes in Season: We have heirloom blueberry bushes in the pasture in front of our farmhouse and old fashion Concord Grapes around our farmhouse that produce enough for us, our guests and the birds.

If you'd like a tour of our organic garden just knock on our door or give us a call during your stay and we'll show you around! Send your kids down to pick a few veggies to grill and you'l be surprised to see them eat them and enjoy it! We'll be happy to schedule an hour workshop and let you work with us in our garden while we teach you what we know about nontoxic growing methods. Workshops: $25 per family or couple.
We make every effort to cook with organic and all natural locally grown food and when seasonally available, fresh vegetables and herbs from our garden. We do not use any pesticides on our garden and manage our farm with healthy sustainable organic practices. We have beehives and our honey bees work hard pollinating the wildflowers and garden flowers. Our eggs, butter and meats come from farms we know who treat their pasture-raised free range animals humanely and do not use antibiotics or preservatives. Healthly local all natural and organic farm production produces food much richer in vital omega fats (the healthy kind) and more minerals and proteins than its industrial counterpart, is less taxing on our environment, is protective of our water sources, saves energy with less transport and supports our local economy. Eat healthy & enjoy! Note: The farmhouse kitchen is always closed Thanksgiving weekend and usually closed for other major holidays but always check with us. "Papa Phil" is a great cook but he needs an occasional weekend off to recharge his batteries too, so every once in a while you might find the "gone fishing" sign up at the kitchen door but we'll do all we can to let you know well in advance of our playing hooky days. There are many grocery stores & restaurants for all budgets within a country drive. Phone books and lists in the cottage are available with lots of choices. Highly Recommended for a special gourmet occasion: Historic Fehn House (Dayton) & Halcyon Days (Crossville). Other picks in Crossville : Forte's on the Square and the Cumberland State Park Buffet on weekends and basic country fare at our Red Barn in Spring City. We are a dry county so suggest you bring your wine or beer or celebration drink with you. Laura's in Harriman on Hwy 27 North has the best wine selection and a package store just opened in Crossville (corner of Miller Bypass and West Ave) that offers one of our favorite organic wines called Our Daily Red. Either store is a 25 minute drive.

Homemade Fruit Jams (Low sugar and extra fruit): Strawberry, Peach, Plum, Blueberry Fruit Jams and a local favorite Hot or Mild Pepper Jam. $6.50/pint while supplies last. Makes a great gift for that someone special at home and a nice treat for yourselves to enjoy during your stay and later on in the year! 
Water Bath Canned Heirloom Tomatoes: Yellow and Red Heirloom varieties put up in pretty glass ball jars. Taste great and look so pretty!
