“The food at Mary’s is legendary” Vermont Magazine. Since 1983 chef–owner Doug Mack has offered seasonally–changing, creative and eclectic menus with an emphasis on local products. Farm–fresh food from both our own gardens and small, local farms is the framework upon which our culinary magic is built. Follow the seasons of our gardens by the ingredients on our menu. Or better yet, stroll through the gardens before dinner and be tempted by your imagination and the flavors of Vermont. Menu offerings range from naturally–raised beef, lamb, venison and chicken to fresh fish and wonderful vegetarian selections.

Doug Mack, Chef/Owner
You will
find Doug in the kitchen every night preparing every dinner and
overseeing a talented and equally committed kitchen staff which guarantees creativity and consistency. Our Cream of Garlic Soup has been our signature dish for nearly thirty years and is
world renowned. Vermont Magazine rated it as “the best soup in
Vermont”.
An integral part of our culinary mission is our connection with other dedicated food organizations.
Vermont Fresh Network
Doug was a founding member and first President of this statewide
organization committed to building innovative partnerships among
farmers, chefs and consumers to strengthen Vermont's agriculture.
Slow Food International International organization devoted to protecting food and food traditions. We represented Vermont Chefs at Slow Food's Terra Madre conference in Turin, Italy in both 2006 and 2010.
The Atmosphere at Mary's
Casual and comfortable. The Living Room, our largest dining room, is elegant with its many windows, white
linen tablecloths and deep red walls. The Catamount Room is warm and
cozy with pine walls and soft greens. The
Summer Kitchen is rustic, romantic and very private with exposed beams
and two full walls of windows.
Private parties from 8–45 guests are accommodated in any one of these dining rooms for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Farmhouse Dinner Series
Every July and August our Wednesday Night Farmhouse Dinners exclusively focus on local products raised and produced by our local farm partners. Each week another of our farm partners helps co-host the dinner which allows our guests to meet our terrific suppliers. A complimentary appetizer table features the featured farmer's product.
The Farmhouse Dinner Series culminates with our Feast of the Farms Harvest Celebration
held annually in September. It is a gala affair in the Red Barn and
under a glorious white peaked tent with live entertainment throughout
the evening. All of our farm partners - more than two dozen of them including cheese makers, brewers, wine makers and food producers - join us at the Harvest
Celebration, serving their food or drink, chatting with guests and enjoying a bountiful and festive harvest party.
