Located on the grounds of Bakers' Acres, the Garden Room is next door to our greenhouses. It offers a relaxed, country atmosphere which accommodates up to 50 people. Our outdoor pavilion seats up to 100 people. From our outdoor terrace surrounded by planters filled with herbs and edible flowers, you can see our display gardens, growing fields and apple orchard. The Garden Room is also an ideal place to hold weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthday or anniversary parties or any special occasion you may have.

Our menu offers many of our own homegrown or locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. They are all delicately flavored with our own fresh herbs and creatively decorated with edible flowers.

One of our specialties at the Garden Room is Bob's Chicken Barbecue. "Bob" is Professor Robert Baker, creator of the famous Cornell Barbecue Sauce for chicken barbecues
