Village Bison Burger, Pyramid Village Lamb Burger, Superior Choice Village Beef Burger
What Makes it Special: An organic burger bar with grass-fed, bison, lamb, and vegan patties under one roof.
7.6

Breakfast Sandwich, Turkey Sandwich, Vegetable Curry Soup
What Makes it Special: Farm-sourced café food built for fast, daylight eating.
