Amazing as it seems,on Friday, April 11th, Bert and I will reopen the Red Barn for our eighth season. Last year was diverse, busy and a great 50th anniversary year for the Barn. We have met so many great friends through the Red Barn and we hope to see all of you for dinner in the comming months.
In our eighth season, we have some exciting plans in store. Red Barn Good2Go, our take out business ,will launch in May. So many of you told us you needed some basics to take home and have available for snacks, meals or just on hand for the weekend. Or you can order things to take home for dinner on Monday night if that's what you prefer.
It's very simple. You view our menu on our website, order the items you want by Thursday at noon, and we'll have them packaged and ready to pick up when you want them. Of course we'd love to see you for dinner in the restaurant, but when you need to take Red Barn Good2Go home, we'll be happy to help.
Next, The Red Barn is a charter member of the Columbia County Bounty, an organization whose mission is to put culinary businesses in contact with local agricultural producers. The organization is just over a year old, and is one of the ways that we can keep our farms healthy and our dinners tasty. We will continue to purvey our ingredients locally as they are available from farms and dairys that are our neighbors.
AND...this year we have decided to farm one acre of our own land. We will be planting organic vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, herbs, and flowers for The Red Barn. It's a huge undertaking, which I intend to document here in the blog and also with pictures. Hopefully, this summer you will see descriptions on the menu of items which come from our garden. I'm excited, but very nervous about pulling it off. We used to joke that the only thing harder than running a restaurant is farming. I'll let you know how it goes.
So, we're looking forward to seeing you for dinner. Our hours this year will be Friday and Saturday night, as usual and Sunday for Brunch from 11am to 3pm. We will be open on Thursday as well once we're up and running.
Come see us at the Red Barn! Chris and Bert
