In case you missed the screening back in June, there will be another showing of Fresh: The Movie on Tuesday, December 7 at the Health & Wellness Center by Doylestown Hospital on Rt. 611 in Warrington.
The program begins at 6:30 pm with the screening [...]
Have you ever had a Bucks County Biscotti? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing. As I write, I’m eating one of their Classic Anise Almond and it’s delicious. Subtly sweet with tiny anise seeds that give a little punch of licorice flavor and great texture. They’re really outstanding.
Everything—and I [...]

When I was a kid, my grandfather, who was quite the farmer, would always make personalized pumpkins for me, my sister and our cousins. When the pumpkin was very small, he would use a pen knife to carve our names and a little picture—by just slightly scoring the [...]

Back in May when we bought the plants for our veggie garden, we found ground cherry plants. Neither of us really knew what they were, but it was something different, so we bought a few.
The overwhelming response I get when I mention ground cherries [...]

For as long as I can remember, the little roadhouse on the corner of Old Bethlehem Road and Rt. 563 near Lake Nockamixon State Park, was known as Cappie’s. It wasn’t the kind of place that I frequented, but it was sort of an institution until it closed [...]
Remember this Seinfeld episode?
Kramer: Well, they’re in…
Jerry: What’s in?
Kramer: The Macanaw peaches, Jerry! The Macanaw peaches!
Jerry: Ah, right. The ones from Oregon that are only ripe for two weeks a year…
Kramer: Yeah…I waited all year for this (bites the peach). Ooooh, this is fantastic…Makes your taste buds [...]

It’s just about time for watermelons to start appearing in our local farm markets. In many ways, watermelon seems like the all-American fruit—a staple at our summer picnics. It actually originated in Africa where it was cultivated by the Egyptians. It wasn’t [...]

Jake is a carnivore. My 4-year old will eat pretty much any kind of meat–often pretending that he’s a lion eating a gazelle. So whenever he sees the grill out, he gets his hopes up for some sort of meat that he can sink his teeth into. Now that [...]

Not too long ago, my wife and I were talking about how interesting it is that the trendy thing to do these days is to eat like people did 150 years ago—local, fresh, natural. It may be the “in” thing to do, but I think we finally have a [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I visited the Flint Hill Farm Agricultural Center in Coopersburg, PA. I had heard of the farm—mostly because it’s one of the few places locally producing goat cheese—but the farm is much more than that. Their motto is “Feeding the Spirit, Educating the Mind, Preserving the Community.” And they’re [...]
Personal Chef Rich Baringer tells us what to do with all these lovely greens showing up at farmers’ markets this time of year. I’ve added one more recipe I tried over the weekend for a swiss chard gratin. Simple and delicious.
It’s spring. Farmers’ markets have opened, pick-your-own farms are thriving and we’ve [...]
My 4-year old son, Jake, loves strawberries. Many times during the year, we’ll spend a fortune on somewhat unripe, generally tasteless berries from California in the grocery store. By the time we get to the checkout, only half remain. I find it hard to spend so much for inferior fruit, but hey, he likes [...]
