Culinary Vegetable Institute

My sister-in-law and I stayed here for a girls quiet night getaway! It was absolutely spectacular! Fresh vegetables and fresh cut flowers waiting for us upon arrival. In the fridge was a decadent tray for breakfast displayed beautifully! Also, since we ordered the Dinner Basket... all courses of the meal were prepared and waiting in the fridge with great detailed directions on how to finalize before sitting down to dine! Included on the table with our dinner was an impeccable bottle of red wine! We were absolutely blown away by the exquisite tastes, attention to every detail of the food presentation, and the love and thought that must have gone into the preparation! Outstanding!!! We were even serenaded by two adorable peacocks and greeted by lil baby chicks sitting out front! We will definitely be back and have already referred and recommended you to multiple family and friends!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!

An international treasure in lovely small town. Cutting edge thinking about vegetables serving the public, at the farm stand and at special events and dinners at the CVI, and restaurants around the world that want the best vegetables anywhere on the planet. So glad it's here. Chef Jamie Simpson is the best.

From the front garden to the dining room, you’ll be amazed to discover the hidden treasures that vegetables and herbs have to offer — even if you already have plenty of knowledge about it.
