The Bucks County Foodshed Alliance hosts a monthly farm tour and potluck at one of the area’s premier small farms every summer. This summer’s line-up, beginning on June 1st, looks to be a great one.
Each evening begins at 6:30 pm with a potluck dinner that is usually outstanding. I mean, think about [...]
When I was growing up, my father had a 6×6 foot garden plot in our tiny backyard in Northeast Philadelphia. The amount of food he coaxed out of it was astonishing – beautiful, red “Big Boy” tomatoes, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, onions, lettuce, spinach, and did I mention zucchini? I’m not about [...]
UPDATE: Please go online today, tomorrow…every day until July 10th and vote for Chef Theo. A vote for Theo is a vote for Bucks County!
I have a deep, dark secret to confess. I don’t watch the Food Network, or Channel, or whatever it is. I am not a Iron Chef junkie, or in love [...]
Eating outside, enjoying a beautiful summer evening with new friends, and then walking around a small, family farm, learning how they produce their bounty. Sounds good, no?
Check it out. The Bucks County Foodshed Alliance, in lieu of their regular monthly meetings, “meets” at local farms once a month during [...]
Paralleling the move to put more locally grown and produced food on our tables (both at home and in restaurants) is another movement to raise awareness among children about where their food comes from.
There are a lot of ways to do this. Certainly some schools are trying to improve the quality and freshness of [...]
People in Bucks County are spoiled. You heard me right. Spoiled.
My sister lives in England, in the Cotswolds. It is green, lush and beautiful, like Bucks County in many ways. She lives in a small – and I mean small – village with farms all around. I once asked her what her neighbor farmers [...]
What’s that you say? More beautiful weather in Bucks County this weekend? And lots to eat, of course.
Strawberries, yes, strawberries. While most local strawberries won’t be coming in until later in May, you could say this weekend is the official welcome of the lovely spring fruit. Peddler’s Village will celebrate on Saturday [...]

I’ll admit it. I’m still a bit of a novice when it comes to sustainable agriculture and concepts like “foodshed.” But I’m learning, and Bucks County is a great school.
I’ve also never been one to take a hard stand. Oh, I have my opinions, but I also see a lot of gray [...]

Our schools, kitchens, restaurants and institutions serve freshly harvested, locally grown and produced, healthy food.
Our farmers earn viable livings producing food for us.
We [...]

I plan to do a number of posts to help us all get ready for Thanksgiving, especially to take advantage of the bounty of foodstuffs in our “backyards” — autumn vegetables, local premium wines, cheese, and meats. Check out my recent post on where to find fresh turkeys in Bucks. We’ll also write about [...]
