Kelly Way Gardens is a farm-to-table program started from scratch, providing the Woodstock Inn & Resort with an on-site holistic food supply straight from the ground. We specialize in unique and heirloom varieties and provide culinary inspiration to our chefs.

Join our Resort Executive Chef Matthew McClure on select dates during warmer months for an evening of dinner party-style dining featuring the local artistry of Vermont’s Cheesemakers, Farmers, Beekeepers, and Dairymen while celebrating the bounty of our own Vermont Certified Organic Kelly Way Gardens. The Red Barn Dinners Series cuisine honors our local farms and artisans; similarly, we celebrate our community through our gathered-style dining arrangement with unique menus for each seating.

We loved our experience at Kelly Way! The gardens were beautiful to walk around in - especially with a glass of champagne. Walk through the gourd tunnel. The chipmunks running around were very cute to watch. The food was outstanding! Except that the chicken entree was just basic. Thigh and drumstick with skin & bones made it difficult to eat. I was mostly full by then so it didn't matter. My husband just picked it up and gnaw on it. Yes this is expensive but you're paying for the experience as much as for the dinner and wine. We made great friends at our table from different parts of the world and would definitely return!

Ambiance was terrific. Converted barn. Very cool. Chef spoke and cooked in front of us. Community style sitting was great met a lot of nice people both locals and visitors. Sat next to visiting framer who provides the lamb. Really interesting to hear his presentation and his life as a sheep farmer/ rancher! Walked the garden with cocktail before dinner. The four course meal was delicious. Highly recommend it. Little pricey but so unique it’s worth it Well done!

Booked this farm to table dinner experience through Woodstock Inn over the July 4th weekend. We arrived to a lovely facility and were greeted with roasted oysters and champagne. Great start! The barn/facility was not air conditioned and was swelterring. They had one fan in the entry area where we waited for dinner. Got to walk the gardens which were lovely and helped us to cool off a bit. Drinks at the bar were incredibly expensive (>$20 per drink). We sat down for dinner - also incredibly hot with only a few fans that helped a bit. It would have been great to know about the heat issue as we would have dressed very differently. Everyone working there was very nice. The food served was barbecue - ribs, chicken, brisket, with some sides. Initially we were told to pick one of these for dinner (which seemed odd) and then later they came by and said they were mistaken and we would get all 3 on our plates. Not well organized. The food was good but for the $$ we paid for the meal ($425 per couple with mandatory 22% tip) we expected better. Served some rose and Riesling wine with dinner. Didn’t offer any red wine (my wife had to ask for some- which they did bring). For the $$ we spent we expected a better overall experience and really should have been warned about the issue with the heat. Would choose to spend our money elsewhere in the future for dinner.

Coming from two people with decades of explorative dining out ventures, we’ve cooked better meals for ourselves and couldn’t have met our dining-mates at our kitchen table. Lovely to experience. Likely won’t do it again.

Beautiful venue and atmosphere. Love the king tables and the country decor. Something out of a magazine! The food - well I didn’t find it very exciting. The first course of cheeses and rolls was excellent, the second course of cabbage and cheese was just okay and the pork belly I didn’t care for at all. Wines were amazing and the champagne to start with and fried green tomatoes topped it all up. I would definitely go again.

The six o’clock arrival time is to long, tables are to wide for conversation because of the high noise level, one bathroom always left a line for the women, cost to value is a joke. Chef way over rated! The idea is great the garden magnificent. There is a reason you have employee fillers

Loved the venue! Felt the price was too high for dinner. Main course of short ribs was not the best, mostly fatty and overcooked. Salad was good but not exceptional. The second and the finish were excellent. Staff was friendly.

Great venue and excellent food. We really enjoyed the family style experience with fun guests around our party of 4. Spectacular gardens and innovative cuisine. Should have let us know ahead of times that dinner will bes erved at 7 pm with cocktail at 6pm so that we coudl have enjoyed more of a stroll in the gardens.
