Happy Mama’s Day Weekend!

Mixed weather this weekend – beautiful today (Friday), some showers tomorrow, and cooler but sunny on Sunday. Not bad. Tonight is First Friday in Doylestown, so I think I see much sitting outside and sipping/nibbling going on around that town.

You can also swing over to Triumph [...]

Bucks County Farmers’ Markets 2010

By On May 5, 2010 · 9 Comments

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 [...]

Local asparagus is here!

By On April 23, 2010 · Leave a Comment

My friend Elaine, who grew up in wartime England, told me how the appearance of asparagus in the spring was a source of real joy during her childhood. It was the first fresh vegetable after a winter of canned goods.

I think we’ve lost that feeling of excitement at seeing the first fruits of our local [...]

The holidays come to Bucks County

By On December 11, 2009 · 2 Comments

I have to admit something. Just a couple of weeks ago I was worried that food events were going to slow down towards the holidays. I know that seems counter-intuitive – I mean, sometimes that seems the main activity this time of year – but not a lot was showing up for the calendar. But, [...]

A cool, crisp November weekend

By On November 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “weekend run-down.” But I’m finally feeling more myself and getting over (fingers crossed) this pneumonia. Mark, however, has bronchitis. My family has started referring to our home as “Plague City.” Lovely.

But there is so much fun stuff going on this weekend that I simply had to [...]

Meet the Wrightstown Farmers' Market

By On June 9, 2009 · 1 Comment

We brought our Flip to the Wrightstown Farmer’s Market on its opening a day a couple of weeks ago, because we figured the best way to get a feel for the market was to hear from the vendors themselves. So, without further ado…

Vendors you’ll see on the video and what they [...]
