Our friends at Back Page Cafe & Bar are open! They have a limited menu for their first few weeks while they get acclimated. Head down to Lowell to check them out!

We are proud to introduce a selection of our menu items. When crafting this menu, we aimed to ensure that every dish from our kitchen is healthy, organic, safe, and humanely sourced. Our menu reflects our values, using top-notch ingredients, many of which come from local farms that we visit daily.

All our milk, ice cream, and cream come from a local farm in Dunstable, where we've seen firsthand how the cows are cared for and how the milk is harvested. We prioritize organic products and support local, traditional farmers whenever possible. We are committed to offering a unique product you can't find anywhere else, and our prices reflect this superior quality.

Additionally, we invest in our employees. Every full-time employee receives comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, employer 401(k) contributions, and life insurance. We believe in fair wages for all, especially those in the service industry. With better pay, you can expect service executed with extreme precision.

What a weekend! We are beyond happy with how everything has panned out this month so far, but most importantly with how yesterday went. As a company who is two weeks out of their one year anniversary what we accomplished has us all floored.

First, we want to thank Manchester True Collaborative for all of their hard work planning and executing these amazing events and festivities. We also want to thank them for allowing us to partner with them in some of these events - it has been an incredible learning experience to work at this scale to serve our community. The show of support at the parade, the festival, and the after party shows one thing; our community is loud, proud, and strong and ready to show up and show out!!!

Second, we want to thank our amazing team for all of their hard work. Between festival and after party decorating, coordinating the drag shows, and much more. You help us to be able to continue to push the envelope and achieve everything we've been able too.

Third, Manchester thank you for everything. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for cheering on our queens. Thank you for supporting us.

We have so many more thank you's that need to be given but we will save that for our huge post in a couple weeks.

For now, HAPPY PRIDE EVERYBODY!!!
