The Tea Room Opens Tomorrow!

To view the latest from Ridge Berry Farm visit our new blog and site!

It's Spring time and of course, this means our Tea Room is re-opening for the 2016 season. We will be open as of tomorrow, March 22nd. Our hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 10AM to 6PM.

Spring time and the tea pots are blooming! Ready for the 2016 Tea Room Season.

We've updated our menu a touch. As promised, we've replaced our (unsustainable) Tuna salad with Niagara Coronation Chicken. This is our own version of a UK classic, using a chutney made from local Peaches. We've also now sourced our drug-free and hormone-free meats from sustainable farmers.

We've also made some significant upgrades in our egg procurement. We have finally found local eggs we can use in our restaurant (Provincial regulations mean they have to be graded). These eggs are somewhat more expensive but well worth the difference in price. The multi-coloured eggs are from free-range heritage varieties locally farmed by  Bertha's Bounty. You can tell the difference in quality just by the strong egg shells and the large orange yolks. We're really looking forward to using these.

Finally! A local source of high quality eggs (Bertha's Bounty)

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the farm, it is Maple syrup season. We've been collecting our sap (this year a lot earlier than before). In fact, we'll be switching to Birch soon and this is a few weeks ahead of last year, given the Spring like weather we faced in February.

Spring like weather has made it easy to collect sap this year.

We'll close by suggesting to everyone that it is now time to visit your local "sugar bush". A good place to visit in Pelham would be White Meadows, where everything they do is Maple themed.
