FOOD FOR THOUGHT
is fond of Grange ’ s house Margarita , which is made with Mezcal that is infused with Urfa chiles . “ It gives the Margarita strikingly different flavor characteristics . It ’ s a different take on a classic drink . The recipe was created by applying the same ethos of sustainable food efficiency that governs our kitchen program to our bar program .” Villalon also goes above and beyond to conserve natural resources behind the bar . “ The goal is to always limit waste in every sense . That starts with collaborating with the kitchen and asking them what we can use and coordinating our beverage menu with their planting seasons .”
Villalon adds that Grange ’ s wine program is also designed in line with the overarching vision of sustainability and local agricultural commerce . “ The goal with the wine program is to introduce people to amazing wines that they might not know of , many of which are produced by indigenous or endangered local varieties of grapes . The grapes used in those wines were revitalized by a grower or farmer that wanted to bring that local wine back . In a sense , even though it ’ s not local to us , it ’ s still produced using a locally-focused , sustainable model , which we get to support . We also get to enjoy a high-quality product made with the intention of promoting local agriculture . Our guests can savor a wine that tastes wonderful without compromising on their ethical values .”
The way that Mary Stuart Smart sees it , every aspect of Hill Farm by Sagra ’ s
hospitality program holds limitless potential for enjoyable and engaging discovery . “ The grounds are beautiful and bucolic , the inn is relaxing and furnished with local artifacts , and the restaurant gives guests the opportunity to savor wholesome , locally grown food . Regardless of whether you choose to dive deep and expand your perspective through a farm tour or just scratch the surface with a delicious farm-to-table meal , you ’ ll be able to enjoy a wonderfully-relaxing stay in a beautiful place that brings you closer to nature .”
