Spring has arrived, bringing with it a sense of renewal, longer days, and the perfect opportunity to gather around the table. Whether you’re celebrating Easter or simply welcoming the season with friends and family, this time of year calls for food that feels bright, fresh, and full of life.

At Frog Hollow Farm, our farm kitchen leans into the spirit of the season with handcrafted, small-batch goods made from high-quality ingredients—often featuring fruit grown right here in our orchard. If you’re planning a spring gathering, we’ve put together a few favorites that are sure to make your table feel both effortless and memorable:

• Meyer Lemon Cake: Bright and fragrant, our Meyer Lemon Cake is a standout centerpiece. Made in small batches by Chef Becky, this isn’t your typical lemon cake. We use seasonal organic Meyer lemons—known for their naturally sweet, floral character—to create a cake that’s deeply aromatic and full of nuanced citrus flavor. The result is something both vibrant and comforting, perfect for ending a meal on a fresh, uplifting note.

• Cream Scones: There’s something timeless about a good cream scone, and ours are a true nod to that classic tradition. These tender, English-style scones are delicious on their own, but they really shine when paired with our fruit spreads. For a spring twist, try splitting them open and layering with whipped cream and fresh fruit for a simple, elegant shortcake. They are perfect for spring gatherings or your afternoon tea.

• Fruit Spreads: Made right here in our farm kitchen using our orchard-grown fruit, our conserves and marmalades are a simple way to add a burst of flavor to any gathering. Whether you’re building a beautiful spring cheese board, spreading them over warm scones, or adding a spoonful to yogurt or toast, these fruit-forward spreads bring a touch of brightness and depth to every bite.

• Empanadas: For a savory option, our empanadas are an easy way to impress. Each one is wrapped in flaky, golden pastry and filled with carefully crafted ingredients, making them ideal for brunch, lunch, or a casual spring get-together. Serve them warm, and they’ll quickly become a favorite on the table.

Spring entertaining doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few thoughtfully crafted food items, you can create a spread that feels seasonal, welcoming, and full of flavor. However you’re celebrating, we hope these farm kitchen favorites help make your gathering feel just a little more special!
