Serendipity Farmhouse is a place for living and making memories. Our farmhouse food has made many of those amazing memories.
Where were raised and the places where we’ve been form our appreciation of good food. I’m a girl raised in the South (GRITS) and Hubby is from the mid-West. We lived in Japan for over 10 years, in Hawaii for three years, as well as Texas, and California. Our two stays in Virginia amount to over 25 years. And tucked in between, were 6 years in Idaho.
Now, recipes from all those places are prepared and perfected in the soon-to-be-world-famous Serendipity Farmhouse Test Kitchen.
We hope you enjoy them!
