The restaurant is actually named Covered Bridge Farm Table Restaurant.My mistake.
The Country Cow restaurant is now the Covered Bridge Farm and Table Restaurant.I forgot to mention that and also when anybody visits the covered bridge they can stop at the restaurant.
Thanks Dana and Kay.
George added a street view you can see Country Cow from
I was just watching a show on the Food Network called Restaurant Impossible starring Robert Irvine and during the show the restaurant called the Country Cow they dealt with I happened to see this covered bridge in a lot of the background shots.This show also was filmed during the bridge rehab on 8/20/14.Amazing how beautiful it looks.

Just saw this bridge on a show on the Food Network called Restaurant Impossible about the Covered Bridge Farm Table restaurant.The bridge looked to be in great shape after the work that was done on it.The work that was done to the bridge was mentioned on the show.
