The same way that a great chef does not waste a morsel in the kitchen and creates a flavorful meal with humble ingredients, the design of Spoon and Seed was executed by repurposing furniture,wood pallets and all the good scraps available. Tables tops have been hand crafted from salvaged flooring from a house in Sandwich, simple Mason jars are disguised as light fixtures,and even the breakfast counter was constructed from the Murph’s Recession’s old bar with pine wood from New Hampshire. Spoon and Seed was envisioned to be an honest local eatery “cooking and serving with love” year round. hide
