Catering to your aircraft in North Springfield.
A 577 ft Vermont airfield, a general aviation ramp and a weather window that can close on a bad morning: that is Hartness State. We build the catering around it, from the menu to the handover at the aircraft.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Vermont is a small state with a strong food identity, and a private jet menu for Hartness State draws on it directly. Local specialities travel well in a galley: aged Vermont cheddar sliced for a board, maple-glazed salmon or chicken, apple and cider-braised dishes, and sourdough from small bakeries. An inflight menu built on Vermont products reads as local without needing a restaurant on board. Private jet food from here is mostly about what survives the drawer and the oven.
Our private jet platters lean on cheddar, smoked meats, pickles, orchard fruit and maple, and our gourmet inflight meals add a hot main finished in the oven with the sauce apart. Private jet snacks are simpler: maple nuts, apple chips, cheddar crackers. These local specialities from Vermont change with the season, with berries in summer and squash and apples in autumn, so we confirm what is good when the order comes in.

Autumn at North Springfield brings leaf-peeping trips, ski-season arrivals and short winter days at a 577 ft field. Our private jet catering for Hartness State starts from what Vermont grows and makes: cheddar, apples, maple, sourdough. We handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for light and midsize jets, aviation catering and business aviation catering for corporate crews, executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering when protocol applies, and cabin crew meals on request, all handed over at KVSF.
A corporate trip into North Springfield tends to mean a small cabin, a clear purpose and an appetite for something Vermont-made. We handle business jet catering and corporate jet catering as a bespoke menu: a private jet chef plans the dishes, VIP flight catering adds the plating, and luxury inflight catering covers the occasion. Charter flight catering works the same way, priced on its own.
When an official party flies into North Springfield, a procedure replaces improvisation. We deliver government flight catering and head of state flight catering through a small named team, VIP aviation catering with full traceability, and state visit aircraft catering that protocol approves before cooking begins. Nothing is left to the ramp.
At Hartness State the special meals question is mostly about hidden allergens in local cooking: tree nuts in maple granola, dairy in the cheddar, wheat in the sourdough. We cook kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals as a procedure, on a separate board and in a separate box, and we pack kids meals the same way. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and the lid carries the seat number.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At North Springfield the crew often waits on the ramp while a Vermont fog lifts, so crew meals matter. On request, we pack flight crew meals and pilot meals for the long day, crew catering for the whole team, and cockpit meals that tuck into a bag. Crew meal boxes are sealed per person, and different meals for pilots are prepared separately, billed like everything else.
We deliver to the general aviation terminal at Hartness State: FBO catering is passed to your handling agent, and catering delivery to the FBO ends at the aircraft. Ground handling catering needs only the tail, the slot and a contact, and our handling agent catering instructions stay brief.
Most aircraft at KVSF are light and midsize jets with a stair door, so galley catering is carried up the steps, though larger cabins can call for a high loader. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are coordinated with your handling agent, who opens the gate to the apron. Give us the type and the galley layout, and we pack to its oven and drawer.

Hartness State Airport sits above North Springfield in Vermont at 577 ft, and airport catering here serves a small general aviation field with a steady stream of corporate and private jets. The terminal is compact, and FBO services and ground handling services keep the apron running. It is a field you plan around the weather.
Hartness State is a small business aviation hub in Vermont, busiest in leaf season and ski season. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for those trips lean on local food, aviation catering and business aviation catering cover corporate crews, executive jet catering suits owner-flown aircraft, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals can be added on request.
Customs at a US general aviation field applies to the aircraft's arrival, and food of foreign origin can be held at inspection. For Hartness State, we cook with local ingredients and avoid imports. Tell us where you fly from, and we plan the menu around what clears.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“As the person coordinating avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 8 passengers at Hartness State Airport, I needed an arrangement that considered a tight boarding window. The canapés from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the sandwiches stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. For our team, the strongest part of their business jet catering was how they handled cabin service sequence.”
“Small packing details became important at KVSF: our 10 passengers wanted avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and we had a revised passenger count. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The canapés were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. I appreciated the emphasis on meal organisation throughout the business aviation catering arrangements.”
“With two separate meal services to consider at VSF, we needed a practical way to serve vegetarian wraps and colourful salads to 12 passengers. The Galley Girls prepared the crew provisions for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. For jet catering, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. It made a difference to have the canapés ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
A fig leaf of a number is not useful, so we show what moves it: local cheddar, fresh trout, the number of dishes served hot, and how many people eat. A light-jet lunch for four from Hartness State costs less than a full dinner for eight. We quote on request.
Coming from abroad, US rules on meat, dairy and fresh produce shape what you can leave on board, so we cook from local Vermont ingredients. That keeps your ordering window open. A same-day request at VSF is handled, and we call to confirm details.
Yes, in two ways. International arrivals face US restrictions on meat, dairy and produce, and a small galley limits what you can heat. For a light jet at KVSF we pack cold plates and a hot main finished in the oven, using Vermont ingredients that clear without a question.
You are free to bring food, but the weather window at Hartness State changes quickly, with October fog and January ice. Catering we cook can be rescheduled as the departure moves, so nothing sits too long.
Catering is a separate order from a private jet charter. If you leave from Hartness State and fly back, we can supply the return meal in advance, labelled by seat, and bill it as a separate order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
