Chef Fetty’s Recipe of the Month – August

We are very fortunate here at Honey Run to be nestled into nature.  Nature inspires us, sets the tone for the day and, in the case of our dining room, truly is the artwork.  Many of our guests take advantage of the natural surroundings and bird watch or hike our trails.  This granola recipe, which is a huge hit at breakfast, will energize you for an active day of sightseeing or hiking.  Add in some fresh berries and yogurt, and you will be ready to climb Everest!
