At Pheasant Run Farm Bed & Breakfast | Weddings and Events in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, we take immense pride in offering our guests a breakfast experience.

Lancaster County: A Culinary Gem

Lancaster County is a culinary gem, known for its fertile soil, rolling farmlands, and a rich agricultural heritage. It’s a place where the bounty of the land is celebrated, and at Pheasant Run Farm, we wholeheartedly embrace this tradition. Our commitment to serving as many locally sourced ingredients as we are able goes beyond a trend; it’s a way of life here in Lancaster County.

Farm-Fresh Eggs

One of the joys of staying at our Bed & Breakfast is waking up to the aroma of farm-fresh eggs sizzling in the kitchen. We source the majority of our eggs from local farms, where hens are raised with care and roam freely. The result is eggs with bright yolks, rich flavor, and a depth of taste that you’ll notice in every bite of your morning omelette or scramble.

Seasonal Fruits and Berries

Lancaster County boasts a vibrant array of seasonal fruits and berries, and we make the most of this natural abundance. Depending on the time of year, you might find your breakfast adorned with plump, juicy strawberries in the summer, or a medley of crisp apples and pears in the fall. These fruits are not only delicious but also a testament to the changing seasons in our region.

Hearty Grains and Bread

The grains and breads we serve are often made in-house using ingredients sourced from local bakeries and mills, ensuring that your morning toast or freshly baked pastry is a true taste of Lancaster County. From whole-grain bread to flaky croissants, every bite is a nod to the craftsmanship of our local bakers.

Artisanal Cheeses

Lancaster County is home to some incredible cheese producers, and we make it a point to include their artisanal cheeses on our breakfast menu. Whether it’s a creamy, tangy goat cheese or a sharp cheddar, these cheeses add a layer of complexity and flavor to your morning meal.
