Creating excellent food does not happen by chance.  Elm Creek Manor is much more than an Inn & Spa and much more than a culinary experience, it is about love and respect for whole foods. It is also about creativity.
 ~We raise our own organic herbs, fruits, vegetables and fresh eggs along with raising our own dairy goats, chicken, rabbits and beef.  All cheeses are handmade artisan cheeses from our goat milk. We keep bees for fresh honey and wax for our Artisan cheeses.
 ~Guests seek our venue for its uniqueness and our ability to bring fresh peak of perfection bounty to the table with creative flair.  Our food is an important essence  here and guests anticipate our bounty with few limitations. Marcia walks through the gardens and gathers what is ripe and is instantly inspired for her creations that night. The freedom of choice is her inspiration. Seasonal to the moment.
 ~The ultimate farm to table experience. As such, all meals require prior arrangement with your booking.
*Guests with strict dietary restrictions must let us know at time of booking so chef is able to determine if the restrictions may be met.
