We will start with a private lunch consisting  of assorted sandwiches, garden salad, pasta salad, a slice of pie with ice cream and coffee/tea/soft drink. 

Then you will have free time to visit their bakery, they are famous for their butter tarts (try the butter tart sundae if you dare), fresh baked fruit & cream pies, breads and flaky quiches.  They also have a country store with local foods for purchase. 

And for those interested in a fun pastime, we will take part in their chuckin' chicken activity. We won't say any more about it in case you burst out laughing but let your imagination wander!
