My boyfriend and I were looking for a little time away from the daily grind of L.A. and decided to try Schrute Farms.

The first day we arrived we were greeted by Mose, one of the proprietors, who helped us in with our bags.

After we were checked-in, it was already getting late and all there was time for was supper. There was no formal dining room, but instead a quaint and unique dinner consisting mainly of the farms primary produce, the beet. The main course was beetloaf (hard to explain, you'd have to try it to believe it), pickled beet slaw and steamed beets. For dessert was a nice surprise of a beet sorbet, which was a nice palette cleansing finale to the meal.

Once dinner was finished we were lead upstairs by acting concierge/proprietor Dwight Shrute. Out of the three themed rooms we chose "Night". The room definitely lived up to its name, having decor of all black, (which we were told was also a good color to intimidate one's opponents with) and glow-in-the-dark stars painted on the ceiling.

The dark room definitely proved for a good sleep, though we were awakened at dawn by Dwight and Mose for our tour of the farm to be late followed by an instruction in table making by Mose.

All in all, it was a delightful trip. The sparse and rustic surroundings were just the quiet that my boyfriend and I were looking for. Thanks Schrute's!

From the moment you pull onto the farm, you feel welcome. In fact, young Mose will accompany you, running like a happy puppy next to your car, all the way to the door of the quaint, rustic (how many ways to say dingy and small?) B and B. (Bed and Beets?)

After the manure fight and table making demo, you can sit in your room and actually request a bedtime story! Be careful not to drink too much beet wine (not included in price, we found out 40 dollars later), that stuff packs a wallop!

Breakfast was a cornucopia of beet-inspired dishes, washed down with beet juice (who knew?)

My husband and I have never felt more regular! I do recommend planning any flights for at least 6 hours after you leave Shrute Farms, if you know what I mean:)

Ah Beets, the miracle food. I have often wondered to myself since childhood if only there was a place for me to relax that incorporated my love of beets and home carpentry. Atlast there is! Mighty Schrute Farms. It is not just a B and B but a experience to cherish for a life time. I went for the America suite and I couldn't have felt more patriotic. The out house lent to the quaint charm. Being in the feilds with owner Dwight gave me a feeling of pride and hard work. The table making demonstration was truly a joy in itself. I only wish that they had a canning and pickling seminar. All and all my trip to Schrute Farms was something I will never forget. I give this trip destination a Gold Star. I hope to visit again soon.

Schrute farms was absolutely magnificent. Ehere els can one find such a mix of romance and history in one trip. The hilight of the trip for both my wife and I, was the exquisite guided tour of Honesdale, PA, by a strangely charming bearded young man. And the beets, oh we will never forget the beets. If you get a chance this jewel of Pennsylvania is an abolute must see. Would reccomend to all my friends.

I was awoken at dawn by the sound of a chainsaw. I sleepily stumbled downstairs to see Mose slaughtering a fresh suckling pig for our breakfast. The aroma of swine blood and honey-buckwheat pancakes with fresh gooseberry jam wafted through the air and my mouth began to water. After our hearty meal we all snuggled under a twisty willow tree and Dwight told bittersweet stories about his Großmutter Ursula's affair with Hermann Göring in junior high school.
