Gary Doyle - General Manager

“I suppose that making people feel welcome and at home and serving them great food was just born in me. From my days of waiting tables in restaurants to owning one, from running an inn with only nine bedrooms to my years as the General Manager of what that inn grew to be: the famed Relais and Chateaux property, Blackberry Farm, I have always loved the smiles of relaxed, satisfied, and happy guests.”

“My love of getting my hands into soil goes back to childhood, when I cooked up mud pies and followed my father and grandfather into the fields. They were farmers who taught me the value and pride that come with digging the hole a little deeper, amending the soil, working hard, and seeing all that it reaps. Like a preacher called to preach, working with flowers and plants is my calling.“
