What a lovely weekend coming up in beautiful Bucks County! While my heart goes out to all those folks at the shore who may get a piece of Hurricane Earl (especially to those in North Carolina and Virginia – batten down the hatches), it looks like we are going to have a sweet weekend here. [...]
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 [...]

As you loyal readers know, I officiated at the Lower Makefield Farmers’ Market Zucchini Races on August 12th. What fun! It’s mostly kids making the racers (with a few experienced adults). The entries were creative with great names (“Unbeetable,” “Speed Buggy,” “The Bo Mobile”). Here are the results. See the photo slideshow for some great [...]

We spent a long weekend in Kentucky, tasting good bourbon and visiting distilleries. What fun! But we are very glad to be in our ‘Old Bucks Home’ (sorry, Stephen Foster). I had forgotten just how much fried, salty food there is in the South. I know they must have fresh vegetables and fruit – it [...]

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 come alive…It’s like [...]

Is anyone still left in town? The internet seems awfully quiet this afternoon. Everyone gone off to the shore or wherever? Ah well, still lots to do and eat here in Bucks County! In particular…the first New Hope Summer Wine Faire debuts this weekend at Tuscany at the Towpath House in New Hope. Find out [...]
It’s high time I did a weekly review of what is going on at the local farm markets. Many of the farmers’ markets have chef demos, music and activities for the whole family. See our earlier post of farmers’ markets in Bucks to find the one closest to you, or most convenient to your schedule. [...]

Wow. Can’t believe how much is going on this weekend. Sorry if I’ve been a little sparse on the posts this week. Still hobbling around the house with my torn ACL. It’s a drag. Literally. Some highlights for this weekend? On Saturday, how about the 28th Annual R&B Picnic by the Bucks County Blues Society, being [...]
The Hunterdon Land Trust and Ted Blew of High Hope Hogs are hosting an old fashion pig roast on Thursday July 8th , 3 pm to 7 pm, during the land trust’s Farmers’ Market at the Historic Dvoor Farm. Shoppers at the Market can enjoy the pig roast along with roasted corn on the cob, a [...]
Looks like a great Memorial Day weekend weather-wise, with chance of some thunderstorms here and there – but, hey, it’s summer in Eastern Pennsylvania. C’est la vie. So what are you cooking up? We’ve got a bison London Broil from Backyard Bison in the fridge, ready to be marinated. [Don't know where to get your [...]
AAGGH. I have to admit, that’s what I’m feeling right now. We are fortunate to have my whole family in visiting this week – and have beautiful weather – from parts far and wide: England, California, Miami and…Newtown (that would be my parents). So I don’t have much time to blog this weekend. But there is a lot [...]
by guest blogger Elisabeth Villarroel None Such Farms’ asparagus is amazing, and going fast. Last weekend we got a bunch of the purple and green stalks and when we went back for more at noon this Sunday there was a sign outside that said “No asparagus until Monday.” Luckily for me, I walked in to [...]
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 them [...]
Another lovely May weekend ahead. Can it be mid-May already?? As I mentioned earlier this week on the Web site, the Stockton Farmers’ Market is now also open on Fridays from 11 am to 7 pm, although with a smaller number of vendors than on the weekend. Still, you’ll be able to get produce, meat, [...]
