I’m referring of course to the New Hope Farmers’ Market which has moved back to its previous location at the New Hope-Solebury High School campus grounds.

“It is wonderful to be back,” says Susan Pierson, market manager. It’s been a bumpy season for so many reasons. The market had opened the season at [...]

By On August 30, 2011 · 5 Comments

Being in the business, as it were, I keep my nose in the air, always sniffing for tidbits about area restaurants – specials, openings, moves, etc. From time to time, I’ll share them with you. Why should I have all the fun?

The Yardley Inn is open for business! The Inn survived Hurricane [...]

Ah, Irene. You are striking fear in the hearts of many. Let’s pray you’re not as nasty as they are making you out to be.

Notes from the field: August 24

By On August 24, 2011 · 1 Comment

As a member of the Anchor Run Farm CSA (community supported agriculture), we receive weekly updates from our farmers, Dana Hunting and Derek McGeehan. I always enjoy their emails. They are a cross between farm report and nature essay. I like them too because they inform and educate, sharing how my vegetables grow [...]

Share the bounty

Dandelion Wine

By On August 22, 2011 · 2 Comments

No, I’m not referring to the famous book by Ray Bradbury. I’m talking about local dandelions, carefully harvested and turned into a sweet dessert wine. I’ve heard about it over the years but had no idea how it would taste. Now Wycombe Vineyards has this year’s harvest of Dandelion Wine available – while [...]

If some of these “scattered thunderstorms” can hold off, it looks like a pretty decent weekend. Which is great news if you are heading over to the 2011 Middletown Grange Fair. We will be going tonight – for the BBQ Chicken Dinner, of course, and to see the bunnies and maybe buy a [...]

Mid-August and the farmers’ markets are bursting with local bounty. And thanks to US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, the week of August 7 through August 13 has been named National Farmers’ Market Week. Now, if only we could get the feds to support small family farms more and build up regional food systems (an [...]
