To our patrons, friends, and guests,

We are so grateful for your support over the years and especially during these trying times. At the Farmhouse at People’s Light, it has always been our mission to provide great food in a safe, healthy, and engaging atmosphere. We’ve recently implemented policies to meet the challenge of COVID-19 and keep safety at the forefront.

The Farmhouse is excited to announce that starting Friday, July 18, takeout will be available to order online and outside dining reservations can be made through OpenTable! Your safety and well-being, along with the safety of our staff, are always our top priority. Before you order, we want you to know about the level of attention we are giving to the preparation of our food and the safety standards we are implementing in our spaces.

What we are doing:

• All incoming food and supplies are carefully processed to ensure the highest level of cleanliness and storage.
• All staff must pass daily health inspections to ensure that personal hygiene is properly maintained.
• All food will be prepared correctly and properly packaged to-go.
• Food and beverages will not be handled without the proper personal protection equipment for hands and faces.
• All food and beverages will be packaged and sealed upon preparation and will then be placed in your vehicle upon your arrival.
• As we learn more about safe business practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to enforce the most up-to-date recommendations and remain transparent on our implementation of the current directions and advice from the experts at the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies.

The following areas have always been part of our daily procedures and will continue to remain our focus:

• Food safety
• Cleaning and sanitizing
• Employee health and personal hygiene monitoring

Newly implemented procedures include:

• Social distancing
• Contactless payment and pick-up.

We appreciate your continued support as we move forward together.

Sincerely,

The Farmhouse Staff
