When creating the menu for your event, we suggest including as many local food products as possible. Not only is it beneficial to the environment and local economy, it tastes better too! We consider ourselves experts at creating local, seasonal menus. Below you’ll find a list of what’s growing in the Hudson Valley throughout the year, provided by the Rondout Valley Grower’s Association. Choose some ingredients you’d like to see on your menu – or let us create a menu based on what’s available – either way, we know a Hudson Valley Menu is the perfect addition to any event.
