It’s a new year, and surprisingly I’m in a good mood about it. I usually burrow in this time of year, grumbling about the cold and longing for the appearance of spring vegetables and baseball season. Allow me one last look at 2010, however, as we celebrate positive food trends in our neck of [...]
I’m making a gift basket and here is what I’m putting in it…and where you can get these items too!
First, I’ll start with a beautiful hand-made basket by Martha Malford-Dreswick. You can see Martha at the Stockton Farmers’ Market every weekend, quietly weaving her baskets of all sizes and [...]
by guest blogger Rich Baringer,
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 [...]

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 [...]
I’ve mentioned Bobolink Dairy Farm before. I think they are making some of the best cheese to be had around here. Labor Day weekend we took some friends to Bobolink’s new home in Milford, NJ, and got a tour of this wonderful farm, dairy and bakery. While farmers Nina and [...]
“You’ve got to make hay while the sun shines” is not just an expression.
What it means is that when you are blessed with sunny, dry conditions in June, you cut hay like there is no tomorrow. Actually, you cut hay either way. Because it’s grown, and your animals will need to [...]
Believe it or not, if you want to join a CSA farm next year, NOW is a good time to get on their waiting lists for 2011. I wrote a post last spring all about CSAs, and I’ll excerpt some of it here. But go to the post for a [...]
Just stopped by Fred Slack’s farm in Forest Grove to pick up some corn. Fred says this is the last week for him, and most other places too. So if you want to stock up for the winter, go rustle up some Bucks County corn before it’s gone. Fred also says he’ll [...]
Crisp, sunny days. Cool nights. Crunchy leaves underfoot. If I didn’t know it was fall by these familiar things, all I need to do is look at our food events calendar for the culinary equivalent – apples, wine, beer and harvest festivals. Sandwiched between a hot, dry summer and a cold winter to come, we [...]
Honey Crisp, Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonathan, McIntosh, Cortland, Empire, Fuji, Jonagold, Macoun, Ozark Gold, Summer Rambos, Red McIntosh, Ginger Gold, Sanza, Daybreak Fuji, Ruby Jon, Crimson Crisp, Cameo, Stayman Winesap. These are all the apple varieties available in Bucks County. So far.
I’m still in mourning over the end of [...]
It’s here. It’s official. Even with a little hot weather today, there is no doubt about it. September is here, along with lots of great food events. In particular, we have a whole crop of farm-to-table dinners coming up that I want to highlight.
This Sunday, September 12th, the Bucks [...]
I’m fortunate to get lots of information coming my way about good things to eat and do in Bucks County and nearby. I often see something and think, “That would be a great little day trip.” We don’t always do it – the chores need to be done, our sailboat beckons, or [...]
Nice piece in the Intelligencer this morning on buying local eggs, and why it makes more sense than ever. Good quotes from Tom Colbaugh, owner of The Happy Farm (Kintersville), and Tim Rick, owner of Rick’s Egg Farm (Nockamixon).
“It’s a lesson to be learned for the consumer: [...]
It’s September already?!? Okay, I said it and got it out of my system. Mind you, this weather is pleasantly like September but I don’t want to jinx it by prancing around shouting my glee – which is what I really feel like doing. Windows open, breezes, comfortable nights, sunny days.
Like this weekend. Sunday [...]
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 [...]
