Farm to Table

Spring is coming to Adair. Albeit slowly, she's definitely on her way, and we're ready for her.  We have baby chicks this year with the intention of producing our own organic eggs.  We're also adding some raised beds for vegetable gardens and we've planted about 20 berry bushes.  Anyone who's stayed at Adair knows we use a great many eggs and berries at breakfast and with 200 acres, why not grow our own?

We also have 5 baby ducks, though their not so little anymore. They started out about the same as the baby chicks, but they are surely twice their size by now.  The ducks will be a permanent fixture in the front pond
and I am assured by those who know that they will bed down at night with their beloved friends the chickens.  They also tell me that duck eggs make the very best pastries.  I guess we'll find out. Somehow it makes me laugh that these ducklings are SO attracted to water. They just can't stay out of the water dish.

They can all be viewed at the Adair this summer.  You best be thinking of  some names or we're gonna start naming them after the guests.

‘Weekly Party of Four’ Catch up with Friends for FREE on Fridays

A fun and relaxing evening dining out with friends is just the antidote to a busy week of work and family obligations, and every Friday, now through the end of May, Adair Country Inn & Restaurant in Bethlehem, is making it easier than ever to enjoy some special time together. Catch up with friends for free on Fridays: when you make a dinner reservation for four, your two friends receive a 2-course dinner for FREE! Fine New England-style cuisine at a reasonable price prepared by Chef Orlo and excellent service from a staff that wants each guest to walk away with a unique experience is only a phone call away.

Unwind with a glass of wine in our comfortable dining room while you order from the menu that features dishes lovingly prepared by Chef Orlo using in-season, locally sourced ingredients. Enjoy the ambience and warmth of the fireplace on cool evenings, or the alpenglow of the mountains as winter gives way to spring. Ask the innkeeper about Adair’s unique history. Did you know that the Inn was originally a private home — a wedding gift from famous Washington, DC trial attorney John Hogan to his only daughter, Dorothy Adair Hogan, upon the occasion of her marriage to lawyer and WMTW television founder John Guider? Or that Mrs. Guider maintained a lifelong friendship with her childhood friend, the famous actress Helen Hayes? See if you can find the photograph of Mrs. Guider and Muhammad Ali, taken when he visited Franconia College (Hint: it’s in the telephone booth!).
