From the vineyards’ website, here’s a little background:

From an old family recipe found in our grandfather’s cellar, this wine is made from dandelions we handpick from the property each spring. The wine is sweet with pear and honey notes up front and perfect for dessert. Pair with cheesecake, vanilla ice cream or a bit of blue cheese on a hearty grain bread.

Wycombe Vineyards is on Forest Grove Road, between the villages of Forest Grove and Wycombe, in Buckingham Township. They are open Fridays and Saturdays from 11 am to 6 pm, and on Sundays from noon to 5 pm. For directions see their website.

Lots of fun things this weekend but a few caught my eye in particular. In the upper part of the county, stop on by the Firehouse Breakfast in Riegelsville on Sunday. This is a monthly breakfast that has been going on for over twenty years. They know what they’re doing. Almost a full breakfast menu, including pancakes, eggs (any way you want them), breakfast meats, coffee, juice and more. See our previous post for more details, Serving up breakfast in Riegelsville.

Or on Saturday, consider a drive to the Holland Township Farmers’ Market, the newest market in the bi-state area, just across the river in Milford, New Jersey. This Saturday, August 20 will be their last market for the season. Looking forward to seeing you next year too!

The first apples of the season have started to appear! Manoff Market Gardens in Solebury now has Ginger Gold. Solebury Orchards, also in Solebury, reports their first apples are available, as does The Market at Del Val by Shady Brook. See Solebury Orchards’ Apple chart to find out when your favorite apple variety will be available. Crunch!

To market, to market. What can you expect to find at local farmers’ markets this week? For produce: Apples, beans, beets, blackberries, blueberries (last of the season!), cabbage (green and purple), cantaloupe, carrots, celery, Swiss chard, collards, sweet corn, cucumbers (salad and pickle), edamame beans, eggplant, fennel, field peas, fresh cut herbs, garlic, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, okra, onions (purple and fresh), peaches, pears, peppers (hot and sweet), potatoes, radishes, raspberries, scallions, summer squash, tomatoes (all kinds), watermelon and zucchini. In addition, many markets have locally raised meats, cheese, baked goods and bread, local honey and prepared foods, as well as preserves and local artisanal goods like wool, soap and ceramics. Support your local farms especially this time of year when produce is gorgeous and well-priced. Get your nutrition local!

Save the date! oWowCow Creamery will be hosting a fundraiser for the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance at its new Wrightstown location on Wednesday, August 31st from 6 pm to 9 pm. All you’ve got to do is show up and buy some delicious ice cream. Easy, huh? John Fezzuoglio, owner and ice cream maker extraordinaire, will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Foodshed Alliance. The store is in Carousel Village at 591 Durham Road (Route 413) in Wrightstown, just a few miles north of Newtown. See you there!

It’s the weather that’s doing it to me, of course. Delightful weather any time of the year, but in mid-July? Who-weee! The weekend looks lovely, with the humidity holding off until Monday.

A wine staycation? Yep, look over the calendar below and notice all the regular events taking place at area wineries on both sides of the river. Sitting outside in such weather as this, with a glass of chilled wine in hand, soothes the soul. And you don’t even have to drive or fly someplace far away.

National Ice Cream Day. Who knew? Yes, this Sunday is National Ice Cream Day (the 3rd Sunday in July) and what better way to celebrate than visiting your local ice cream shop. See our previous post for a listing of ice cream places all over Bucks. We’ll be celebrating at the newest location of oWowCow Creamery which just opened last week in Wrightstown, just minutes from our home. Read all about it here.

To market, to market. Lots of berries are still out there to be had: blueberries, raspberries, black raspberries and blackberries. Peaches, of course, have arrived in earnest. Manoff Market Gardens says they should be picking their first white peaches this week. Get ‘em while they’re here. And fresh, local sweet corn is popping up everywhere. Look also for the first of the season’s sweet peppers, eggplant, field grown tomatoes, okra, and cabbages. Fresh picked cucumbers, green beans, zucchini, lettuces and summer squash will be in abundance. You are likely to also find fennel, carrots, red beets, celery, scallions, Swiss chard, dandelion greens and radishes. Many markets also offer a wide selection of mushrooms, 100% grass-fed beef, pasture raised poultry, pork, eggs, goat cheeses, yogurt and butter, breads, baked goods, raw honey, beeswax candles, maple syrup, and prepared foods plus handmade soaps and and other artisanal goods. (Thanks to Robin Hoy of the Wrightstown Farmers’ Market for her help with this list.)

1. Peachy-Keen Weekend
2. Bucks County is berry, berry good
3. Last Farm Tour and Potluck at Manoff Market Gardens

So much going on this weekend. I’ll be at the Smallholding Festival (see more details below) later in the day tomorrow which should be excellent. The 62nd Tinicum Art Festival also takes place this weekend, and the weather is looking pretty good, warm but no rain. There are six area farmers’ markets on Saturday and another three on Sunday, not to mention the weekday ones in Langhorne, Feasterville, New Hope, Lower Makefield and Ottsville.

This week. Do try to get to the Milford Oyster House on Tuesday, July 12th for their annual Farm to Table dinner to raise money for the Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance. You’ll be enjoying a seasonal, fresh and delicious four-course dinner by Chef Ed Coss at New Jersey’s best seafood house (as rated by Zagat). The evening begins at 6:30 pm with Mojitos and appetizers, followed by a “farm fresh dinner” at 7 pm, including chilled berry soup, Sweet Valley Farm Corn Fritters, Cucumber and Mint Salad, and more (depending on what is most fresh at the market that week). The cost is $75 per person, wine and desert are included. Space is limited so call the Milford Oyster House at 908‐995‐9411.

Got chickens? Got mozzarella? The First Annual Smallholding Festival takes place this Saturday, July 9th at Linden Hill Gardens in Ottsville from 11 am to 3 pm. What’s it about, you say? Well, if you’ve got a “small holding,” that is even an acre or two, there’s a lot you can do in the way of food production right in your backyard. Keep chickens, raise honey bees, learn how to make mozzarella, eat what you grow and even how to build a clay pizza oven will all be happening. Who will be there? Matt Ridgway, from PorcSalt, will be there to teach about charcuterie and butchery. Look for Jonathan White, from Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse, as well as his wife, Nina. Jonathan will teach cheese-making along with Lorenzo Gilliberti, and Nina will tell you all about baking. Want to know about chickens? Nina Zeebooker from P&A Feed and Pet will be there. Home brewing advice will be available from the Ship Inn’s Lea Rumbolo and Tim Hall and John Stemler from Keystone Homebrew Supply. And much, much more…foraging, earthen oven building, vegetable gardening, beekeeping, canning, fermenting vegetables, composting, spit roasting and creating a kitchen potager. All in one place! Thanks to the Canal House Cookbook creators, Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer, John Schwarz, of Schwarz Brand Studio, Kristin Perry of the Kitchen Potager for pulling this all together, and Jerry Fritz, owner of Linden Hill Gardens, for hosting the event. They’ll be food vendors and live music too! Cost is only $12 per carload, so throw all your friends into the car and come on down to learn more about self-sufficiency.

Also, tomorrow, July 9th, Newtown Brewfest tickets go on sale online. The popular beer festival takes place on September 24th this year at the Stocking Works in Newtown. Lots of beer, music, food and fun. Don’t wait to buy your tickets!

To market, to market. This week you can also expect to find the following vegetables at local markets: Asian turnips, baby cabbage, blueberries, bok choy, broccoli raab, broccoli, carrots, collards, cucumbers, dandelion greens, fennel, green beans, kale, kohlrabi, lettuces, mushrooms, (maybe) peaches, radicchio, raspberries, red beets, spinach, summer squash, sweet corn, Swiss chard, (maybe) tomatoes, tat soi and zucchini. Plus most farmers’ markets also have vendors selling pastured meat (beef, chicken, pork), free-range eggs, dairy products, prepared food, coffee, raw honey, maple syrup, breads and baked goods and much, much more.

Next weekend, is Lulu’s Rescue’s fundraiser, Eat, Bark, Bid (read more about it on our previous post). The evening looks like it’s going to be a blast and the menu by Max Hansen Caterer sounds mouthwatering. Watch for another post on Sunday with details of the menu. Woof, woof.

Wine dinners. Two interesting wine pairing dinners this week, one at Earl’s Bucks County as part of their Tasty Thursdays series, on the last Thursday of each month. This one features Duckhorn Vineyards’ wines paired with a locally sourced five-course tasting dinner. The dinner takes place this Thursday, June 30 at 7 pm and costs $70 per person, including wine.

Another fun wine pairing event will be at the Stockton Inn on Wednesday, June 29. Phillips Fine Wines of Stockton is co-hosting the wine tasting of Jean Edwards Cellars wines from Napa Valley. The owners and winemakers of Jean Edwards will be on hand to give a “multi-directional” tasting of their wines. The wines will be paired with buffet-style hors d’œuvres, including fruits, cheeses, lamb chops, and filet mignon. Cost is $30 per person and reservations are required.

Woof, woof. Yum. If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you already know my passions – local food, good causes, and my family – which includes two rescue dogs, Cody and Canta. On July 16, the local dog rescue organization, Lulu’s Rescue, is hosting a great fundraiser, Eat, Bark, Bid, full of fun auction items, local artwork, and of course, local food. Max Hansen Caterer will be providing the food. Max says he’ll be getting his food from None Such Farms, Blue Moon Acres, Comeback Farm and Gravity Hill Farm, among others. The event looks like it will be a lot of fun, being held at Rago Arts & Auction Center in Lambertville. For more details and to buy tickets, go to their website at www.lulusrescue.com. You can read more about the event here.

Food news. Old Tyme Bar-b-que, one of our favorite BBQ places in the area, who ply their delicious pastrami and other meats at the Stockton Farmers Market each weekend, told me they are hoping to open a regular restaurant at the old Cuttalossa Inn on River Road in Lumberville. Can’t wait!

Cafe Blue Moose, the youth-run dinner club that serves delicious french-inspired meals each Saturday in a Doylestown converted barn, is planning on setting up a permanent location in New Hope come the fall. Skylar Bird, the chef and owner, told me the new restaurant will be on Mechanic Street right near Zoubi’s. Look for an article on Bucks County Taste about Cafe Blue Moose soon.

To market, to market. Welcome Perkasie Farmers’ Market! The weekly market opens this Saturday, June 25 from 8 am to noon at 7th & Market Sts. in Perkasie. They’ll have fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, local honey and jam, crafts, and even breakfast sandwiches and coffee provided by C&C Cafe.

What might you expect to find produce-wise at area farm markets this week? Raspberries, (maybe) blueberries, bok choy, broccoli, broccoli raab, red beets, Asian turnips, zucchini and summer squash, sugar snap peas, snow peas, lettuces, spinach, kale, collards, Swiss chard, tat soi, mustard and dandelion greens, radishes, garlic scapes, vegetable and herb seedlings, mushrooms. Many markets will have pastured meat, eggs, cheeses, plus raw local honey, breads, baked goods and prepared foods. If you are interested in getting on the mailing list of a farmers’ market near you (the best way to know what they’ll have this week), go to the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance’s website. Under the “Markets” tab, all local farmers’ markets are listed with contact information (click on the market’s name).

One more thing…Bucks County Taste is running a contest on Facebook! I’m asking all entrants to tell us what are “don’t miss” food experiences in Bucks County. Check into our Facebook page and let us know!
