David’s Pea Salad —
snappy! herby! fresh!
Bloom & Bramble
We challenged Honeywood bar manager Leah Craig to come up with a rhubarb cocktail and she did not disappoint! Leah's Bloom & Bramble would be perfect for an afternoon garden party or even (especially?) a rainy day relaxing on a porch swing.
Rhubarb Mostarda
We know the rhubarb in our Holly Hill Inn gardens won't be around for long, so we're always looking for ways to preserve this tart treat. The mostarda comes together quickly but its tangy flavors can be enjoyed for weeks.
Stalks & Vines
Our beanstalks aren’t quite as tall as Jack’s yet but they’re getting close! Learn why heirloom beans reach for the sky and other gardening lore from our DirtWorks gardener and seed saver Ian Feeback.
Ian’s Heirlooms
Ian heads up our DirtWorks project at Holly Hill Inn. He’s an enthusiastic seed saver who’s filling our garden with heirloom varieties of tomatoes, beans and other vegetables — all destined for dishes on our menus.
Seed Saving
Our garden game is growing! Holly Hill Inn line cook and DirtWorks manager Ian Feeback learned from the best – Bill Best, that is! – and has started several varieties of heirloom seeds for planting in our garden soon. Join along as we learn what heirloom plants mean for the food world and why we should care about them.
Spring Greens Soup
Here’s a great basic recipe that’s infinitely variable according to your garden, the farmers market or your fridge. Make it a forager’s soup by swapping out some or all of the cultivated greens for wild ones like stinging nettles, dandelion leaves and ramps.
Spring Greening
Spring is a time of rebirth and rejuvenation. Its gifts are all around us. We spent a sunny afternoon wandering Kentucky’s backroads, from maple groves to farm gardens, and found a new appreciation for the season’s promise.
Digging Dirt Works
Staff farmer David Wagoner has launched DirtWorks. We’re going even deeper into our commitment to not only buying local, but growing local. DirtWorks is our initiative to tend a garden at every Holly Hill and Co. restaurant, not just for the beauty that plants bring us, but for their culinary possibilities as well.
Summer Tea Tips
It’s official! Summer has arrived. When hot and muggy team up to wear you down, fight back with a tall glass of iced tea, preferably while lounging on the porch under the whirring blades of a ceiling fan.
