All meal experiences are prix-fixe and four courses, with at least one vegetarian choice for each.  Any experience is available for either table seating or the more limited seating Chef’s Counter. It is important to note that the price you see on the reservation/ticket page is the price you pay, except for PA sales tax. All food, non-alcoholic beverages and service fees are included.

In REspect for the living wage, meal prices include a service fee which allows us to fairly compensate our staff. Tipping is not expected, do not feel obligated to leave anything extra unless you feel the service was truly exceptional and should be rewarded.

Yes, we offer a great selection of locally distilled spirits, local brews and exceptional American wines.  If you'd like to bring a special bottle of wine for your special occasion, please let us know in "guest notes" as you complete your dinner ticket purchase.  We do age check all diners at any table where alcohol is to be served and abide by all other PA liquor regulations. For our REmembers and frequent visitors, we offer secure wine storage.

We welcome your dog friend on Picnic Thursdays to the designated areas only if you have made a reservation in advance.  Please be respectful of all these rules so that we can continue to welcome dogs on picnic nights.

Rules 

• Other than service dogs, animals are never permitted inside the Café or near food/bar preparation areas…. even if just walking through.
• Only one of our servers will be dedicated to dog-friendly areas to eliminate transference of dog hair and dander into the kitchens.
• All dog waste must be cleaned up by the dog’s owner immediately, using provided sanitation materials.
• There is a strict prohibition against dogs on chairs or tables, and feeding your pup from using anything other than Café supplied disposables or dishes from owner’s home.
• Dogs must have current vaccinations and their owners must be able to provide documentation.
• Servers are not allowed to touch your adorable pet…it’s nothing personal.

Etiquette and Common Courtesy

• Dogs and their owners should avoid the 3 B’s – barking, begging, and biting (unless eating).
• Ensure that your dog is well-behaved around other people and especially children.
• Short leash your dog always and keep them under reasonable control.  Please refrain from allowing your dog to socialize with other dogs,  diners or employees, unless welcomed….hard to believe but not everyone is a dog lover.

If you are experiencing trouble with the system, please call and speak directly with a manager (814-321-5097) who will assist you with your reservation. As all our reservations require tickets purchased in advance, we don’t want anyone to leave a request on voicemail and then show up only to be disappointed.

We want to create an intimate environment for our guests at the best price possible. Advance reservation/ticket sales allow us to anticipate who is coming in and allows our team to harvest and prepare your food to accommodate those guests only, thereby reducing food waste.

No. Just like a sporting event, concert or theatre ticket all sales are final. Tickets may be rescheduled with at least five days’ notice prior to the reserved experience date. Should you not use a ticket, rest assured that you are “paying it forward” because it will fund tickets given to local social agencies for distribution to clients as they deem appropriate.

We decided not to "pave paradise and put up a parking lot". We have limited parking on the farm, and in our quest to be mindful of our transportation impact, guests will have one parking place per reservation for up to 4 people. We encourage carpooling and/or using ride-sharing services.

Our menu changes daily based on seasonality. We try to post each day's offering on our website (refarmcafe.com) by noon. Sample menus from recent meals are on the website as well. Fresh and most often local but always responsibly sourced meat, poultry, fish and vegetarian options are always available. Our Composer's will happily accommodate any dietary needs you or your guests may have.

The overwhelming majority of foods on your plate, other than some fish, spices, and oils come from less than 50 miles away, much of it from our own Windswept or other neighbor farms.

We invite families to tour the gardens, weather permitting, at 4p each evening before the early session. Tickets for both the early dinner sessions and brunch for children 3 to 10 years of age are $20. We encourage children to explore and expand their culinary acuity by enjoying the flavors of the day’s regular menu offerings, just in smaller portions.

We offer many wheat-free options, but because of possible cross-contamination, we are not totally gluten-free. Will we always adjust seasonings and ingredients to your taste, dietary restriction or food allergy.

No. Everyone is required to purchase a reservation/ticket in advance. Tickets for any experience are available online until all are sold.

RE Farm Cafe has a casually elegant feel and our guests seem most comfortable in casual business attire. Since we offer a guided tour of the gardens before the first session, this earlier time is more family oriented and casual. Later in the evening, the second session attire can be dressier.

Our intimate REfectory perfectly accommodates up to 25 dinner guests. Please contact us at manager@refarmcafe.com for availability. RE Farm Café is available for larger private functions up to 75 guests, and we also can accommodate up to 180 guests in our outside tented venue. Please contact us at events@refarmcafe.com
