Will you be spending Labor Day weekend at Lake Gaston? Let us take one thing off your weekend list.

If your plans include the lake, a rental house, a boat, and absolutely no desire to spend your first afternoon grocery shopping… we get it. 😂

Place your order with the Backyard Garden Bar by Monday Aug 31st by noon and pick it up when you arrive. We’ll have your favorites ready so you can get on with the important stuff — unpacking, pouring something cold (possibly one of our infusion kits 👀), firing up the grill and getting down to the water. ☀️🚤

At the Backyard Garden Bar you’ll find things like:
🍋 Handcrafted lemonade + bottled drinks
🍞 Homemade breads, sourdough cookies & baked goods
🍑 Fresh produce baskets
💐 Fresh flowers
🥯 Easy weekend provisions and a few good things we think belong at the lake.

Whether you’re staying for the weekend, settling resting at your lake house, or feeding a whole crew, preordering means less running around and more lake and relaxation time.

📍 Backyard Garden Bar Preorders are now open for Labor Day weekend until Monday at noon. Check out this week’s menu at BackyardGardenBar.com. We are located at the corner of Spring and N Main in downtown Littleton.

What’s the ONE thing you always want waiting for you when you get to the lake?

Come visit us in downtown Littleton at the corner of Spring and N Main today between 12-4 and see what all the hype is about in Lake Life Magazine and place your preorder at BackyardGardenBar.com for next weekend to ensure you don’t miss out! With Labor Day and Littleton/Lake Gaston festival we are going to sell out quickly.

Today we have a fresh batch of candied pecans, sourdough maple brown butter cinnamon rolls, lemon blueberry, cinnamon swirl, italian herb and cheese and a couple packs of chocolate chips cookies. We also have a fresh batch of jellies and drink infusion kits.

Peaches and tomatoes are rolling out of season and next week will be the last weekend they are available in bulk so if you’re planning to bake, can or just eat a bunch of them before the season end preorder a basket full by Monday and we will have them for you Thursday.

While the sunflowers and summer garden may have been mowed over and my perennial garden taken over by weeds at this point in the summer, I do have my secret stash of flowers just to brighten my own day!

Guess who will be in downtown Littleton today with me?!? Yep, I’m finally dragging Billy Spain out of the house to help me (more likely be in my way, but he’s at least good company! 😂). Come grab a hand crafted lemonade, some sourdough cinnamon rolls and bread, a fresh tomato for your afternoon sandwich and one of our freshly made drink infusion kits to enjoy this evening so I don’t have to make Billy load the stuff back in the truck. 😂🤷‍♀️

Seriously though, no worries I’ll make him load the truck, but I’m sure he would love to see some smiling faces other than mine so come say hi between 12-4 and help him avoid having to work. 😎
