A Bucks County mill is reborn

By On December 6, 2011 · 6 Comments

There are over four dozen roads and streets in Bucks County with the word “mill” in their names: Mill Creek, Mill Pond, Mill Valley, Millbrook and Mill Road (over two dozen alone) to name a few. But in fact there haven’t been any active grain mills in the county for decades. Until now.

2009: A year of Bucks County Taste

By On December 31, 2009 · 3 Comments

Home in this Wycombe

By On January 12, 2009 · 3 Comments

Finally, we’ve made our way through the piles of laundry, e-mail and regular mail, restocked the fridge, and have resettled into our cozy home in Wycombe.
