"Veranda" has Been Postponed


Drinks on the Veranda— originally scheduled for June 11th at Button Farm—has been postponed due to a spike in regional COVID cases over the past few weeks.

We will continue to monitor the CDC data and reschedule for a time later this season when it is safer for our guests to gather, imbibe and enjoy the flavors of summer!
