The last six months, as it has probably been for you, has been about ADJUST, ADJUST, ADJUST.
So what has the cafe been up to? ALOT.
Before Covid we never really had an online presence. However we now have an excellent online platform in which to purchase your cafe favorites. I cant thank the cafe team enough for their relentless efforts in putting together an online presence and constantly adjusting it as we went along.
We opened the restaurant and then we had to close the restaurant a second time. Frankly each time was brutal but we kept looking forward and adjusting to what could possibly become a new norm.
We went out and bought a smoker. Like most men, we don’t think about what it will take to put the smoker in place. Why would we read the instructions? Why should we actually think if it will fit through the door? Well, as you know High-Hand is always the little engine that could and it did. Desperation is the mother of all invention, when in doubt remove the roof and bring in the crane!
Our new friend THE SMOKER
As I said, desperation is the mother of all invention
We moved the restaurant outside
We are happy to say we are now back to our pre covid hours. The cafe now open Tuesday through Friday 11:00am – 3:00pm. Saturday & Sunday 9:00am – 3:00pm. Reservations can be made online by clicking here, come dine with us at High-Hand.
Cat on a cart
In the sheds we are moving forward with the relocation and remodel of the High-Hand Olive Oil store. You can still purchase your favorites online by clicking here. Be patient with us please, our supply chains have tightened up a bit due to Covid.
The remodel for the art gallery is moving forward and we hope to have it open soon.
We are happy to say that High-Hand Nursery is back to its pre Covid hours. The nursery hours are Monday-Saturday 9:00-5:00 and Sunday 9:00-4:00. Let’s see if you’re actually paying attention to this. In celebration of opening up to pre covid hours, Monday September 28th everything at High-Hand store wide is 10% off. Come on in. We would love to see you.
Always pretty in pink
The grow container that grows our lettuce for the cafe and vegetable starts for Maple Rock & High-Hand is back online. 😀
Lets summarize
- Nature never quits
- Cafe is back to normal hours (open on Tuesdays) and is smoking along
- The shed is being remolded, revamped, and flipped 😀
- The nursery is open 7 days a week
- The grow container is growing
- And Petunia is great!
Did I mention September 28th is 10% off at High-Hand Nursery? Let me throw something else in the mix for you. October 3rd High-Hand nursery will be bringing back our Name Your Own Price Sale! Name your own price on selected scratched and dented Japanese Maples and various trees as well as some selected shrubs. When you give us a price most likely we will counter back, but we might counter lower.
During a pandemic gratitude is tricky. With all the changes, challenges, and stress that we are all going through, gratitude can be at times hard to find. With much gratitude the team at High-Hand wants to thank you. For the last six months we have been constantly adjusting. Because of you, we have been able to work through the challenges and create a place where everyone’s worries can wash away. All of us are very grateful. All of you have kept us motivated.
Life moves forward.
See you at High-Hand,
Scott
