The lodge also grows a lot of its own produce including herbs like wild mint, basil, and dill along with vegetables including tomatoes, pumpkins, carrots, radish, cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant , and the latest addition being micro-greens for salads. Breakfast dishes of fresh papaya and fruit from the garden, to roasted and stuffed green heirloom tomatoes, pumpkin soup, or desserts using the vegetables and fruits grown in the garden have become a way of life in the Pugdundee kitchens.
