FAQ
Q. What’s the minimum & maximum number for Tea & A Topic?
A. The minimum is 12 people.
The maximum is currently 24 but we are creating a new, larger space and are always happy to talk with you about the needs for your group.
Q. Our group is fewer than 12. Can we still come?
A. No problem!
Simply take the total cost for 12 people (the minimum) and divide it by the number in your group.
So, for the minimum number of 12 X $49 per person, the total would be $588.
If you only have 10 in your group, for example, the individual price per person would be $58.80.
Q. Our group is larger than 24. Can we still come?
A. Email or call with your requirements and we'l see what we can do.
CheesecakeFarms@aol.com or 540-439-2188.
Q. Can we come on weekends?
A. From January 2016 thru November 2016, Tea & A Topic is offered only Monday thru Thursday.
During December 2016, a very special Christmas Tea & A Topic is available daily – including weekends.
Q. Can we get the regular topics during December instead of the Christmas presentation or the Christmas presentation during the rest of the year?
A. Sorry, no.
Q. What type of foods will be served?
A. We offer a generous refreshment buffet of farm baked sweets and savories. The menu is seasonal and always cook's choice. Offerings may include cakes, cookies, tea breads, tea sandwiches and of course cheesecake! The beverages are hot tea and, in season, iced tea.
Q. Do you serve sugar free foods?
A. Some of our buffet selections may be naturally free of added sugar but we do not cook, bake, use or offer artificial sweeteners. Guests are certainly welcome to bring their own preferred sweeteners for their tea.

A. Sometimes. Please discuss your needs with us before you make a reservation.
