To our dearest community and friends,
we (Simi and Joe) have made the decision to step away from managing The Ransom Tavern and Kedron Valley Inn as we prepare for the birth of our second child.
The last 9 years have been a lot of hard work, learning, beautiful human connection and joy. We feel unbelievably grateful to have been stewards of this property and to have hosted a community gathering space for this special village. We have loved making you food, serving you drinks, and laughing with our guests and coworkers. We are leaving with a sense of pride in what we built and we deeply look forward to spending evenings with our children and family while we continue to grow our role in the communities we care about.
If you are looking for us we will still be managing The South Woodstock Country Store and we hope to see you there!
Our family will still be the owner of the Kedron Valley Inn and we feel confident in the new managment. With only good things on the horizon make sure you’re still making dinner reservations for yummy pizza at The Ransom Tavern and maybe even grab a drink with us as patrons!
With love and gratitude
-Simi, Joe, and our growing family
