The Northeast Kingdom Farm to Table Project




Throughout the coming summer and fall, Juniper’s Restaurant at the Wildflower Inn will feature a weekly farm-to-table dinner special made from ingredients produced here in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. The restaurant will partner with local farms to promote the use of locally raised, hormone, pesticide and chemical-free produce, meat, and dairy products in our restaurant and by the Northeast Kingdom community. A different ingredient and farm will be promoted each week in the restaurant and on our new website (www.junipersrestaurant.com). Chef Casey Graham will use the ingredient in his main dishes, appetizers, soups, and salads.

The Wildflower Inn and Juniper’s Restaurant are owned and operated by Jim and Mary O’Reilly. The couple raised eight children on the inn property and have long recognized the benefits of providing healthy, locally produced food to their family. It is only natural that they have the same cares and concerns for the food they serve the guests of their inn and restaurant. “We feel that what is not in our food is just as important as what is in it,” Mary notes. Juniper’s Restaurant currently features all natural beef (some from right here on Darling Hill Road at Meadow View Farm), chicken, and pork, farm fresh ingredients, an extensive wine list including Vermont-made and organic wines, and a great selection of Vermont-brewed beers.


The staff of Juniper’s Restaurant at the Wildflower Inn is excited to have the opportunity to raise awareness of responsible agricultural practices and support our local food economy. We invite you to come on in and find out what it means to eat like a local!
