If you’ve never had a tea party experience on an herb farm you’ve been missing out!
We are thrilled to welcome you to an afternoon of tea, surrounded by the blooms and scents of the plants we bring to the table.
We think a good tea party should be all about the tea- so we’ll be infusing not only your cup, but our menu with as many varieties of tea as we can manage. Your menu will vary based on local availability of ingredients, what is ready to be picked throughout our production rows and what is seasonal. Everything we serve is organic, made on the farm, clean and/or locally sourced… we only serve REAL, FRESH food- NO unnatural preservatives, and NO artificial flavorings or colors.
MAY Menu:
- Tea Sandwiches- Cucumber with herbed cream cheese, Beet and Basil on True Sourdough
- Jasmine Infused Fruit Tarts
- Lime Green Tea Matcha Chocolate Bundtlets
- Scones with Clotted Cream and Homemade Jelly
- Fresh Harvested Tea
The Experience
Have a seat in our outdoor café, or indoors next to the fire during cold weather. Each cloth covered table will be decked out in antique china and fresh-picked bouquets. We will serve you a variety of savory finger sandwiches, sweet desserts and of course our famous scones with homemade clotted cream and farm-fresh herbal jellies. Your bottomless tea will be a fresh one-of-a kind blend picked exclusively for your party. Each place-setting includes a small nosegay of this tea to take home as a gift to you for joining us!
The farm is closed to other visitors on Tea Party days, so you will enjoy private access. After you are done eating, we invite you to stroll the gardens on your own or wander with a guide… check out our farm shop, visit our animals, or simply find a quiet spot to enjoy a good conversation with a friend.
Tea Parties are a great way to celebrate a Bridal Shower, Baby Shower or Birthday… if you prefer alternative dates beyond the ones we offer to the public, please contact us for private offerings!
Polices
Seating Policy
Your seating begins at the party’s scheduled time and lasts two hours. We encourage you to arrive on time to get the most out of every moment of this experience!
Coming to Tea with Children
We love the idea of mother-daughter outings! You are the best judge of whether or not this is the right experience for your child. The food that is served is for an adventurous palate that is open to trying new flavors and it is served on real china. If your child requires all your focus when using delicate place settings, or they really only enjoy one or two very specific foods, we recommend you wait a little longer before joining us- or find a time to come with an adult bestie. We are currently brainstorming how to offer these events specifically for our younger friends- so stay tuned!!
Dietary Restrictions
Our menu will always contain a variety of options involving both gluten and gluten-free. Our bread is made on the farm and is a true sourdough (appropriate for all but a true celiac). We do not use nuts, soybeans or sesame. Please contact us if you have an allergy that this policy does not accommodate to discuss how we might safely include you and your friends. We are open to allowing outside food in individual cases and will discuss price alterations.
Reservation Changes
If you have booked a private party and have no-shows at the last minute we will include the cost of those folks in your bill. The booked amount of portions will be served to be eaten up by those who attended.
Cancellation Policy
You must cancel within 48 hours from your reservation time in order to receive a full refund.
Payment Methods
We accept cash, in person in advance (cut-off is 48 hours before reservation time). Otherwise, you can book online or pay in person with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Apple Pay.
