Yet Ehney schedules plenty of more “adult” gatherings at the Lavender Tea Room, such as seminars on wine and wine pairings. And the carefully selected wine offerings will take you around the world from California to France and to Germany. Bottles may be purchased to take home as well as to be enjoyed with a meal. Plenty of wine accessories are also available for sale. Ehney selects her teas from the Charleston Tea Plantation, the only remaining commercial tea operation in America. People in north Missouri have discovered it and groups arrive for lunch from all of the surrounding towns and some from Kansas City too.
Crybaby Farm’s family and friends. And speaking of family, Ehney opens her doors to the younger set as well as she plans several “nursery teas” designed for children ages 4 through 10. “The term ‘nursery tea’ in England resulted from children having tea with their nannies in their nurseries,” Ehney said. “At the Lavender Tea Room ‘Nursery Tea Parties’ are designed to indulge our young guests in a sophisticated atmosphere and a delicious tea fare such as jam tarts, cookies and tiny sandwiches. Besides the fun experience of sharing tea time, the children will also discover some rules of etiquette.” The nursery teas can be scheduled between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
Lunch is served year-round, 11 a.m.–2 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. Crybaby Farm and Gifts and the Lavender Tea Room are located at 900 N. U.S. 65, Carrollton, MO 64633. Phone: 816-808-9899. Website: www.crybabyfarm.com
