Garlic Harvest at Birch Point Farm
Trying to beat the rain to get the garlic in at Birch Point Farm.
A picture is worth a thousand taste buds. Or at least, a good picture activates those buds!
Trying to beat the rain to get the garlic in at Birch Point Farm.
This morning I headed out with three sisters and a niece to pick berries at Potter Road Raspberries. Brenda and Mike Mahn have a beautiful spot with several varieties of raspberries, including some fall berries that will be available for picking until the snow flies. With the sun warming our shoulders, we spent a couple peaceful hours picking. Sixty-two pints later we headed into the kitchen and whipped up 134 jars of jam.
Emerging from the depths of winter, new menus laden with fresh local product burst forth like a chrysalis from the cocoon...
A feast for the eyes and the tastebuds: mocha etching, free-form latte & hot cinnamon "tea."
