Located on busy and scenic Route 28, this renovated vintage diner will be frequented by outdoor enthusiasts, vacationers, weekenders, and full-time residents alike.
The Diner will bring a new source of good food to the area, and needs you to help it succeed. We will connect producer and consumer in a shortened path from field to fork within a casual environment in a beautiful natural setting.

We are dedicated to paying fair wages and to providing an enjoyable work environment.
