Blue Hill
Stone Barns is home to Blue Hill at Stone Barns restaurant and Blue Hill Café.
Blue Hill at Stone Barns
Blue Hill at Stone Barns has no menus, at least not the traditional kind. Instead, the kitchen creates multi-course “farmer’s feasts” around the day’s harvest (and around the diner too). Guests experience the freshest possible ingredients, virtually yards from where they were grown or raised.
The restaurant is a critical part of the Stone Barns community. Blue Hill contributes to the Center’s financial sustainability as the largest customer of its livestock and four-season-farm operations. Cooks walk the farm and collaborate with the farmers. They are as excited about helping to dig sunchokes from partially frozen early-spring fields as they are about pureeing them for the restaurant’s guests. Blue Hill staff members also teach an in-the-kitchen class every month featuring seasonal ingredients.
Dan Barber, executive chef and co-owner of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, puts it this way: “The menu is dictated by the farmers. Stone Barns Center grows what is best for this locality and raises the animals the pasture can support. It’s a wonderful way to cook and a wonderful way to be involved in food. For our guests, this type of eating is not only delicious, it’s participating in the farm—and that is the whole point.”
Blue Hill at Stone Barns is open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM, and for lunch on Sunday from 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM.
Blue Hill Café
A respite for families and hikers, Blue Hill Café offers light snacks, farm-fresh lattes, and other locally grown goodies. Fresh baked goods and vegetable salads prepared in Blue Hill’s kitchen are available to eat in the courtyard or to take on a walk around the farm. The shelves rotate seasonal jams and pickles: rhubarb jam and pickled sunchokes in the spring and apple butter and pickled cucumbers in the fall. Casual outdoor seating is available adjacent to the Café.
Blue Hill Café is operated by Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and its revenues support Stone Barns Center’s farm operations and educational programs.
Blue Hill Café is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM.
