Pancake".
Indulge yourself with freshly squeezed
juice, homemade jams and sausages. Many of
our breakfasts include vegetables and herbs
from our own garden, the jams made from
fruit picked at nearby farms. All breads are
made from home-ground flours and are served
with home-churned butter. Lee is a beekeeper

honey from our own bee hives!

Fraitag, Innkeeper of Willows Bed &
Breakfast, featured on the Food Network.
"Our
large green attic bedroom was filled
with an astonishing and often humorous
collection of rural ephemera. The
solid breakfast the next morning included
homemade whole wheat bread, homemade
sausages, a frittata stuffed with
home grown vegetables, excellent homemade
raspberry and strawberry jams, and
honey from the Fraitags' own beehives."
