Come Celebrate Fresh Local Foods With Us!

This week, we are participating in Maurer Meals, a project founded to honor the memory of Justin Maurer by raising money for the Justin A. Maurer Memorial Scholarship at UMF. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of our local foods specials on Friday, October 14th, and Saturday, October 15th, will be given to the scholarship fund. Although this weekend the spotlight is on local foods, here, at The Homestead, we are committed to bringing the freshest local foods, all year round. We partner with local farms, including Beacham Farm and Black Acres Farm, to regularly supply us with local fruits, veggies, and meats, which are used in the creation of our delicious dishes and specials.    We also regularly feature many specials made with fresh, local ingredients.

Our Fall Menu features over 20 dishes that are made using these fresh, local ingredients, including: Lobster Tostadas (image) Stuffed Acorn Squash Black Acres Ribeye Steak Eggplant Parmigiana Thai Pumpkin Curry Beef Ale Pie Fried Goat Cheese Roasted Beet Salad  Apple Pecan Salad Mussels Spencer House Salad Beet Cured Gravlax All of our beef burgers  And more!

I love the harissa sauce that Chef Nick puts on the Homestead lamb gyro- it's the perfect extra touch!" What do you do when you're not serving? "I am an avid hiker- my favorite hike is the loop trail on top of Tumbledown." What is your favorite part about working at the Homestead?  "I love being able to meet people everyday and to get to hear stories from all of my customers!"
