Brunch feels special this time of year. I look up from the kitchen every time I hear the screen door slam shut to see who's come in. People greet each other with a wave from across the dinning room. Familiar faces pull together tables to talk and eat. Every now and then, someone calls into the open kitchen to tell us they came just to try the dish they’ve finished eating. We're so happy to be here, thank you for all the support!

June is right around the corner and we're watching our gardens in anticipation! Our rhubarb is finally bountiful enough to pick, the tarragon is out of control, and hopefully we will have strawberries for the first time this year! (Not enough for Supper Club but just enough to snack on between trips to and from the garden).

We're booking June 5th, June 12th, and June 19th! There are OPEN tables for every date! Book your spot now before it's gone! Email us at fromscratch.caz@gmail.com for a reservation.

Come celebrate early summer flavors with us!

First and foremost,

We will be open for Mother's Day Sunday Brunch! We can't wait for families to come gather round our tables and enjoy a delicious spring inspired brunch.

We will be operating as usual, 9am-2pm, no reservations, first come first served. However, we are planning some very fun specials and there will be delicious baked treats to dig into or to save for later.

So, here is our May Sunday Brunch menu. We couldn't be happier for this spring season!

In May, we will be holding three Supper Club dates:

Come celebrate the spring season on Friday evening in the village. Book a table with us by emailing us at fromscratch.caz@gmail.com

Caroline and I have been fixing up the original screen door for the front of the building. We hope to have it installed soon so that a gentle breeze might flow through our dinning room on Friday evenings. It should make it's debut this May.

There’s no better day than today, amidst the flurries of snow outside, to share about Common Thread Farm’s CSA program!

Caroline and I are so excited to be hosting the Cazenovia drop-off location for Common Thread’s CSA boxes for a second year!

There are many incredible veggies we have used from Common Thread such as sweet potatoes, herbs, delicata squash, potatoes, beets, rutabaga, and much more!

If you’re in the Cazenovia area, you’ll be able to pick up your CSA share this summer and early fall at the Loka Leaf Tea Lounge space.

If you’ve never participated in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program before, I truly can’t recommend Common Thread’s enough.

Here’s why their CSA stands out:

1) Their sustainable practices produce fresh, healthful vegetables that are never sprayed with preservatives or pesticides.
2) You get to be part of the farm throughout the season with included U-pick experiences—flowers, herbs, and more.
3) You can customize your box each week, swapping items so you actually receive produce you’re excited to cook and eat.
4) For an additional cost, you can easily add extra vegetables to your order so everything is taken care of in one place.

All the information and pricing is located on their website commonthreadcsa.com

Up on the hill, tender green ramps have emerged, signaling an important shift in the season. For us, wild ramps mark the beginning of a new chapter in the kitchen. After months of storage vegetables and few fresh greens, we look outside for flavors that mark the beginning of a new growing season here in Central New York. It won't be long till I can pick fresh mint.

View our April Supper Club menu on the last slide!

There are only a few tables left for Friday April 17th & April 24th! Grab a friend and come enjoy a slow evening of food and fun.

Spring is in the air! Here is our seasonally driven Sunday Brunch menu for the month of April!

During the long, dark days of this last winter, Caroline and I drank a lot of tea!

We have our own line of tea blends that we're very excited to share with everyone. These are organic tea blends with NO natural flavors. We love them hot or cold.

Our new tea blends include:

Smoky Earl Grey - a blend of earl grey with a touch of lavender and smoky black tea.

National Parks - a pine forward blend with roasted green tea and rosehip

Garden Blend - echinacea root with a blend of rose and chamomile

Vanilla Spice - red tea blended with dried vanilla bean, ginger, cocoa, & cinnamon

Cocoa Mint - just as it sounds but you'll never want any other tea as a staple in your pantry

Tomorrow is the last chance to try our March Brunch menu!

Challah French Toast with crumbly maple sausage, Lamb Meatballs with yogurt and fried egg, Maple Waffle, Hashbrown Quiche, and of course our From Scratch Breakfast Sandwich!

And that doesn't include any of the delicious baked goods you'll find up at the counter (which is looking a little different this week!)

See you tomorrow!

At Supper Club this month, we’re highlighting storage beets, yanked from the earth at the end of last summer and tucked away in a cool dark place so that we might be able to enjoy them many, many days later in March. These beautiful beets come from Common Thread Farm near Hamilton, NY.

We serve them dressed up in a tasty vinaigrette, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and topped with goat cheese, oranges, pistachios, and fronds.

Join us for Supper Club in March! Booking for this Friday, 3/20 & next Friday 3/27

Tomorrow is March! And with a month comes a new Sunday Brunch menu!

It's also the beginning of sap season here in Central New York which means we're leaning in and highlighting sweet sticky sap this month! We get ours from Dutch Hill Maple 🤎@dutchhillmaple

While we all might be eager to wish away the cold weather as quickly as possible, I learned that a slow, gradual warming of spring is essential for a good flow of sap. I choose to see this as another seasonal reminder to practice patience and to be firmly rooted in the present.

It's served simply and sweetly with a bit of whipped cream, flaky salt, and some brandy-infused prunes.

We're bundling up over here, taking a little extra time to add a few more layers before we walk out the door.

A new year, a new month, a new menu!

In case it's not already clear, I want to share a little bit about our food choices here at From Scratch. From the flour in our homemade focaccia to the scallions in the butter on our Johnnycakes, we choose the highest quality ingredients we can find.

Farmer Ground Flour is organic, locally sourced and milled, farmer owned, and the most nutritious flour available. Our scallions are organic. Our maple syrup and eggs are local. Our onions are grown by me (Anna). And all of our meat is pasture-raised and/or grass-fed. We do not compromise on our ingredients. We choose these ingredients because of their impact on our health, our farm(er)s, and our land.

That's all! Thank you for supporting us this last year. We look forward to a big year for our business here in Caz!

We invite you all to our place on Sunday, 9am-2pm! Let us do the cooking :)

For the first time in Supper Club history, we are repeating our menu!

Booking January 9th, 16th, & 23rd.

For January, we will be cooking the December menu for a second month in a row. There are a few reasons for this. First, the feedback and interest in this menu was the best we've seen since starting up Friday Supper Club. Second, James and Ada Yoder at Local Roots Farm were able to process additional grass-fed short ribs special for us. Working with small farms means we have a limited supply and sometimes this dictates how many dates we can run a menu. This time everything came together to make this menu happen twice.

Book with us for cozy dinner this January!

The past few weeks, we've had a little helper for our Wednesday trips to the local farms. Every week we place our orders for Friday Night Supper Club and Sunday Morning Brunch. Instead of walking through the fields to pick, we duck inside barns and storage rooms to sort through thousands of pounds of veggies.
