Fernwood Botanical Garden is excited to announce its partnership with The Grateful Pie Company. Previously located inside The Commerce Center on Colfax in South Bend, the eatery now operates from the Fernwood Café. The Grateful Pie Company is open to the public during Fernwood’s operating hours, offering both dine-in and take-out options. The café menu includes soups, salads, sandwiches, pot pies, and pizzas. Homemade baked goods are sold in the garden’s gift shop, including fresh pies, loaves of bread, granola, lemon lavender bars, and Fernwood's famous carrot cake. More information, including the café and catering menus, can be found online at fernwoodbotanical.org/dining.
“The Fernwood Café is a fantastic spot for visitors to come together, dine, relax, and appreciate nature. We are excited to team up with The Grateful Pie Company to bring some delightful added flavor back to Fernwood. ” said Mary Krinock, Fernwood's Executive Director.
In collaboration with the Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Niles Chamber of Commerce, the garden will hold a ribbon-cutting in the Fernwood Café at noon on Wednesday, February 26. All are welcome to attend. Fernwood is located at 13988 Range Line Road in Niles.
“Our team looks forward to serving homemade food and treats to our community at Fernwood for many years to come,” said Barbara Funnell, Chef and Owner of Grateful Pie Company. “We couldn’t ask for a better or more welcoming location!”
