LUNCH SERVICE BEGINS FRI 5/29

We welcome you to our barn in the woods Fri through Sun from 12 to 4 for hot and cold sandwiches, salads, charcuterie, natural wine by the glass, and house-made non-alcoholic offerings. Think: a combination of sandwich shop, natural wine bar, and woodland get-away.

As with our dinner, we presume a standard of 100% locally sourced and organically grown ingredients and rely on whole-animal butchery, foraged ingredients, fermentation, smoking, and other forms of food preservation to accent our menu, along with careful combinations of ingredients in their original state.

We take pride in curating an evolving drink selection that complements our food, the season, and the moment. We select natural wines from across Europe, dry ciders from our bioregion, and visit our gardens and wood edges to craft unique non-alcoholic options. Our list favors small producers who are exploring their terroir, practicing organic and/or biodynamic agriculture, working with native yeasts, and using low to no sulfites. Expect less common varietals unique to their place of origin rather than more common international ones. If we’re offering it, it’s because we personally love it, find it uniquely suited to the moment, and are excited to share it with you.

Since we are a small restaurant with limited parking, we do require reservations. Please use the form on our landing page or e-mail us at info@circumstancemaine.com to make a reservation. We can usually satisfy most dietary needs except vegan diets. Please let us know about any dietary preferences or allergies when you make your reservation.
