Granny’s Garden Is A Hidden Roadside Stand Near Cincinnati That Will Become Your New Favorite Lunch Destination
On the outskirts of Cincinnati, there have always been many family farms that provide produce and other products for our area. However, as more and more building and expansion takes place, these farms have dwindled and only a precious few remain. Many of these lands have been in the family for generations, and one of them can be found just across the river from Cincinnati in Burlington, Kentucky. Located on a family farm, Granny’s Garden is the definition of a hidden gem and is definitely difficult to spot if you’re not on the lookout. This roadside stand, cafe, and charming destination offers so much to those who walk through the door and it will quickly become your new favorite lunch location.
If you've ever driven along Camp Ernst Road in Burlington, especially recently, then you've probably noticed two things: a few beautiful farms and a whole lot of construction. Hopefully, you also noticed this tiny white sign on the side of the road that marks the entrance to Granny's Garden.
Granny's Garden is located on land that has been in the same family since the late 1940s. With no intentions of moving, this hidden gem and roadside stand and market remains a wonderful place to stop for a variety of meals, treats, produce, and more.
Granny's is run by a mother/daughter team that carry on a delicious family tradition. Their homemade pies, cakes, salads, casseroles, and hot lunches are more than worthy of a visit from anywhere around the TriState.
