FARM-TO-TABLE DINING AT EDGEWOOD RETIREMENT COMMUNITY
Savor the farm-to-table freshness.
At Edgewood, meals are an occasion to savor the freshest locally grown ingredients transformed by the talents of our culinary team into meals that delight all your senses. Our two restaurants offer chef-created menus that change frequently and offer daily specials to highlight seasonal produce, the freshest catch, and meats, cheeses, and other ingredients from local producers and purveyors. Enjoy comforting favorites as well as globally inspired, themed menus that take your palate to other lands. And best of all, dine with friends who add to the experience with engaging conversation and laughter.
“I thought I would cook all my meals, so I brought all my pots and pans. But the food is so good, and dinner is a highlight of the day. I rarely cook at all.”

OUR FARM-TO-TABLE PARTNERS
Local is fresher and healthier.
Edgewood’s farm-to-table philosophy comes from the understanding that fresh produce delivered and served the same day it’s harvested is more flavorful and retains the highest nutritional value. Eating local is also better for the environment because shorter transport distances mean lower carbon emissions. And finally, supporting local farms and businesses is good for our area’s economy.
Edgewood purchases produce and meats from local farms, cheese from local dairies, and seafood from fishermen who bring it straight from the Atlantic. Two of our current local partners include High Road Farm in Newbury and Sid Wainter and Son in New Bedford. We even harvest honey from the beehives right here on our campus and tap our very own maple trees to make maple syrup. It doesn’t get much fresher or more local than that.
