What We Do

Daily, we prepare freshly made, market-inspired soups, salads, and artisan sandwiches, featuring Boar's Head Brand Premium Meats & Cheeses with fresh-baked bread from Butter Crumb Bakery. In addition, there’s freshly prepared home-style entrees & side dishes (both fresh & frozen), gourmet hors d'oeuvres & appetizers, scratch-made soups, and house-brined Roast Chickens. There is also a selection of Gluten-Free items for your enjoyment! Wendy and Kelly bake from-scratch cookies, muffins, peanut butter bars (to DIE for), as well as other sweets & treats.

We also provide a full-service catering menu which is updated frequently and seasonally for all your event needs from small intimate gatherings to large business or social functions. What is unique about our catering operation is that we can truly customize the menu around your needs. We have experience in creating special menus for many types of special events. We can either prepare the items fully cooked, hot & ready for pick-up or delivery, ready to serve, or we can prepare the items for you to bake at home. We actually encourage our customers to supply their own platters or baking dishes for us to put the items into for holiday catering so they can cook and serve in their own dishes!
