Our featured guest, Chef Tim, with his wife Melody, owned and operated the celebrated Cafe Cimino Country Inn for over 20 years. They now operate a small bakery and catering business called Bop & Nana’s and serve locally sourced organic and homegrown foods at seasonal outdoor dinners on the family farm. They are also a perennial vendor at area farmers markets, offering a wide array of chef Tim’s baked goods; both savory and sweet. Just so Chef Tim doesn’t get bored, all throughout the year Melody takes special orders for people who want a dinner prepared for their work group or family or yummy baked goods shipped to a loved one.
