Breakfast, served from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. in a sunny room with a view of the ponds and rolling pastures, includes juice, fresh fruit, muffins, and a hot entree such as egg strata or blueberry waffles, always using the best of Vermont ingredients and our own gardens.

In the cooler months, guests gather in the afternoon and early evening to share stories while enjoying hors d'oeuvres, goodies and beverages amidst an interesting selection of coffee table books about Vermont.
