All of our meats and seafood (calamari the only exception)
are American sourced. Whenever possible our produce is all American sourced.
We grow our own tomatoes (5 varieties), basil, marjoram,
oregano, 3 different mints, 3 different thymes, lavender,
lemon balm, chives, scallions, red & blue potatoes,
and use them whenever possible.

We are the longest running local restaurant customer
for Sunset Hill Hydroponic greens during the summer months (since their opening!)
and use greens from aqua vita organics in the winter.
We source other local produce from the Little Falls farmers market,
the community co-op and East Creek organics.
We use foraged chanterelle, oyster and morel mushrooms,
and blackberries, black caps, gooseberries and raspberries when in season.

We use fresh dried pasta from "The Pasta Shoppe" in New Hartford.

We are the only restaurant in upstate NY to use an all-wood fired grill.
Our grilling wood is either cherry, maple, oak, apple or hickory.
All smoked fish and vegetables are prepared in-house using hickory or apple chips for smoking.

a note from Celiac Support Group Newsletter of the Mohawk Valley ....
"Beardslee Castle was wonderful with their gluten-free meal.
When we arrived the only thing they asked was if both of us were gluten-free.
They brought me GF bread at the table and my husband gluten-filled bread
wrapped in separate baskets on opposite sides of the table.
Then they made a calamari appetizer with rice flour and when they brought it to
the table the waitress mentioned that the orange sauce and cocktail sauce were GF -
I didn't even ask! For dinner I had gluten-free linguini with scallops, shrimp, zucchini,
artichokes, tomatoes, etc in a olive oil and lemon sauce.
At that point I couldn't handle dessert but there was one with bananas, brown sugar
and vanilla ice cream. We were visited by 3 different waitresses and they were all
aware of everything including salad dressing etc.
If anyone wants to have a special treat and go to Little Falls they will LOVE it!"
