The grand portico of the Greek revival-style county courthouse on the town green is often the stage for outdoor concerts in Newfane
Hikers headed for the West River Trail or to a scenic spot on the banks of
the Rock River can pick up snacks, beverages, and lunch from the deli counter
at Newfane Market. At Dutton’s Farm Stand, it takes less than 10 minutes to
stuff a picnic basket full of country-gourmet fare, baked goods, and veggies
and fruits grown in their own nearby fields. Starting in June, Dutton’s opens
some of their fields for pick-your-own strawberries, and later in the season,
in Boston at a James Beard award-winning restaurant there. She has moved the
dial up several notches on “farm-to-table” dining because she directly partners
with more than 30 local growers and producers for vegetables, grains, and meat
for Artisan’s menus. Adjacent to the lovely, rustic dining room, with its huge
stone hearth, is a cozy bar and tavern room. In the summer, cocktails and meals
are served on the umbrella-dotted patio between the duck pond and the pool.
Indoors or out, it is a magical setting.
