Some people have the assumption that when you’re camping it’s all burgers and hot dogs over a grill, chasing it down with a can of baked beans. That’s true most of the time, unless you’re Glamping. At Orenda we believe in serving our guests nothing but the best ingredients straight from our heirloom garden and local purveyors to our back county kitchen. We give our guests the peace of mind to sit back and relax knowing they are going to be enjoying a tastefully prepared, open flame meal. Check out some more of our go-to glamping recipes below.
Rosemary Infused Center Cut Pork Chops
Our pork chops are prepared with a Rosemary infusion and grilled perfectly over an open flame. Top it off with our homemade Apple & Pear Chutney with a tasteful side of Asparagus with local Goat Cheese, shaved Almonds with a White Balsamic Basil Vinaigrette. It’s important to us to support our local Adirondack farmers to ensure that you always get the best that the region offers!
