When you stay at Blackberry Farm 3 meals a day are included in your room charge.  Dinner can be at The Barn with reservations otherwise meals are served at The Dogwood restaurant in the Main House. Room service or carry out meals are also available for a fee.  At the Dogwood you just show up between the hours given you at check-in and they will take you to a table in one of several room.  First you pass through the bar area then there is a large dining room, another smaller dining room beyond and outdoor tables.  The tables are various sizes and some have banquettes as part of the setup.  There are no table clothes but plenty of extra pillows it you need them.  Art was on the walls and no music was in the background.  Lots of windows to the outside made everywhere a brightly lit table.  Each table was always set with salt and pepper grinders and at breakfast butter and dark jam.  Flatware was in the napkin at lunch and on the tabletop at breakfast.  A large fireplace was at one end of the room that was also open in the room on the other side.   At breakfast the Chef’s Selection, griddle cakes and sweet roll change daily but otherwise it stays the same.  On weekends they offer different items.  At lunch there were some repeats but lots of new items each day.  We didn’t have dinner but a separate dessert menu is available at lunch and dinner.  The bar is also available for drinks and both meals we had had separate drink menus.
