Fish Hawk Acres

🌿 Today is Thursday, June 18, and This Is Your Daily Dish! 🌿
Let's start with a question:

🏡 If someone was coming to West Virginia for the very first time, what is the ONE food you'd tell them they absolutely have to try?
Not what they should try.
What they MUST try.
Chicken and dumplings?
Biscuits and gravy?
Pepperoni rolls?
Soup beans and cornbread?
Fried potatoes?
Ramps?

Tell us in the comments. We're curious to see what food best represents home.

🍗 Today's Special:
Garden Patch Chicken and Dumplings
Old-Fashioned Chicken and Slick Dumplings with Carrots, Fresh Herbs, and Mashed Potatoes.

This isn't trendy food.
This isn't influencer food.
This is the kind of food that got generations of Appalachian families through long days, hard work, and cold winters.
Simple.
Honest.
Comforting.

🌾 June 24 Farm Dinner
Our next Farm Dinner is right around the corner. Good food, beautiful scenery, live music, and a chance to spend an evening under the West Virginia sky.

Reservations are filling, so don't wait until the last minute and then act surprised when we're full. 😁

🍷 July 1 Supper Club
Our last Supper Club sold out completely. If you'd like a seat at the next one, now is the time to reserve.
Great food.
Great conversation.
No dishes to wash afterward.
That's a win all the way around.

👇 What is the ONE food every visitor to West Virginia should try before they leave?

Tuesday, June 15 and This Is Your Daily Dish!
Good morning, F'Hawkers!

We've got the coffee brewing, the ovens warming up, and we're ready to tackle another day.

Today's Special:
Porch Swing Pot Roast
Slow-Roasted Beef with Carrots, Onions, and Mashed Potatoes That'll Hush the Room.
You know the kind of meal we're talking about.
The kind that makes people stop talking for the first three bites.
The kind your grandmother would've approved of.
The kind that reminds you sometimes the old ways are still the best ways.

Looking Ahead...
Our next Farm Dinner is coming up on Wednesday, June 24 at The Farm at Fish Hawk Acres.
Then, just a week later, we'll gather around the table again for our next Supper Club on Wednesday, July 1 at the Market.

Now listen carefully...
Please don't wait until the last minute.
Every month there are folks who call a day or two before an event and say:
"Got any seats left?"
Maybe.
Maybe not.

But here's the thing: planning these dinners takes time. Food has to be ordered. Staff schedules have to be built. Tables have to be set. Desserts have to be dreamed up.

Help us help you.
If you're thinking about coming, make your reservation now. Your future self will thank you.

One More Important Announcement
Fish Hawk Acres will be taking a little summer pause.
The Market will be closed beginning Saturday, July 4 and we'll reopen on Monday, July 13.

Why?
Because even Appalachian food evangelists occasionally need a nap.

The entire staff will be taking a well-earned break to recharge, reconnect with family, spend time outdoors, and remember what life feels like when we're not simultaneously planning weddings, baking bread, running events, stocking coolers, and answering emails.

We're big believers that you can't pour from an empty cup.
So for one glorious week, we're refilling ours.
Yay us.

We'll remind you again as we get closer, but we wanted to give everyone plenty of notice.

Now come see us for lunch.
We'll save you a plate of pot roast.

🍴 Ever Wonder What Happens After We Lock the Doors?

Most people see the lunch specials.
They see the bakery case.
They see the grab-and-go cooler.
They see the farm dinners, the supper clubs, the weddings, and the catering.

What they don't see is everything happening behind the scenes.
The recipe testing.
The late-night menu planning.
The stories behind the food.
The kitchen debates over whether butter counts as a food group. (It does.)
The Appalachian ingredients that inspire our menus.
The occasional chaos that somehow turns into dinner.

That's the stuff we share with our subscribers.
