BEEF WELLINGTON AHI TUNA STEAK QUAIL EGG BREAKFAST Farm-to-Table Fun Goldberry Woods, A Modern Farm Resort • Union Pier, Michigan When it comes to Goldberry Woods’ farm-to-table breakfast, most visitors say it’s love at first bite. And considering chef and co-owner Julie Haberichter’s passion for food, it only makes sense. From the roasted corn to the tiny quail eggs to the flavorful hot sauces, just about everything is locally made, grown, or foraged. In fact, many of the dishes’ most intriguing elements – like aronia berries, ancho peppers, and currants – come right from Goldberry’s 25-acre farm. As Julie puts it, all you have to do is “taste your way through.” After all, with a seasonal, ever-changing menu there’s always a tasty new treat to try.
