In true springtime fashion, the landscape has turned from brown to green overnight and the trees are bursting with white, pink and purple blooms. We wake to sunshine, and are promised a glorious, mid-seventies day. It’s time to pack a picnic and celebrate the season. Come picnicking with us!

Our picnic essentials list is short, but perfect for anyone looking to relax in nature and enjoy the day. A blanket, a corkscrew, and a basket brimming with exciting edibles make up the basics. Our menu staples include a cheese selection of aged gouda (Beemster or Clarina), triple cream brie (St. Angel), Toscano with black pepper (thanks Emma!) – and anything else that sounds good in the moment. These three cheeses pair well with another because they each bring a little something different to the table…or blanket, in this case.

Next comes some thinly sliced prosciutto, a few baguettes (Schar has the best gluten-free for Tess), and seasonal fruit. Add a homemade olive tapenade if you’re feeling motivated, and your favorite beverage – you’re all set! Whether you’re on a beach, a boat, or in your own backyard – creating a personalized picnic is the perfect way to welcome spring!
