Bucks Food Calendar: May 10, 2013

Welcome to spring showers! Yes, we’ve been getting some much needed rain, but unfortunately it will be coming on Saturday this weekend. Mother’s Day looks good, though. Sunny and 67°. And there is plenty going on this weekend too.

Farm markets. Two markets are opening this weekend. The long-awaited Sandy Ridge Farm Market is having a Grand Opening Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Doylestown. Not only will the Touhill family farm be providing produce but they will also be carrying locally produced goods from all over Bucks County, including The Coffee Scoop, Nick’s Honey, OB Sauce, Giggling Goat Dairy, Maddalena’s Cheesecake and Catering, Brad’s Raw Chips, Don’s PIckles, Wos Wit Foods, Solebury Orchards, Penn View Dairy and the Fruitful Baker. See their Facebook page for more information.

In Titusville, Gravity Hill Farm will be opening their sweet little market this Sunday. In addition to certified organic produce from their farm, they share the space with other local vendors and their kitchen serves up tastings every weekend. You’ll also find them at the Stockton Market, but visiting the farm is lots of fun.

Brews and vino. This Saturday is the 3rd Annual Washington Crossing Brewfest and there should still be tickets left (see their website). Don’t worry about the rain – they will have tents. In addition to music and food, there will be 67 breweries this year, including many based in Bucks County.

Several wineries are celebrating Mother’s Day and spring this weekend. Crossing Vineyards in Washington Crossing will have Wine Tasting for Moms on Saturday. In Ringoes, Old York Cellars is honoring moms with a Mother’s Day Wine Trail Weekend and at nearby Unionville Vineyards they are putting on their Spring Wine Festival, rain or shine. On Mother’s Day, Alba Vineyards is honoring moms at their annual Mother’s Day Festival with wine tastings, cellar tours, food and music. On Saturday, the Chaddsford Winery Tasting Room in Peddler’s Village is hosting Mixology Weekend where you will be able to sample three to four mixed drinks and then select your favorite drink served in a fun keepsake glass.

While you are at Peddler’s Village, stop by Casa Casale on Saturday for their Meatball Festa. Chef Fiorenzq Dolceamore will judge a meatball contest. There may still be time to register to enter your meatballs! Registration is $25 and all proceeds go to Point Pleasant Pediatric Care. Call 215.794.1474.

Coming up. Next Saturday, May 18 will be Carversville Day in the small, charming village of Carversville. The annual event includes a cookie contest, jazz, crafts, kids’ activities and the famous Pet Parade! Also next Saturday is Perkasie Olde Towne Spring Fest with live music, a 5K Race/Fun Run in the morning, a ribs grilling competition and sampling, a pie baking competition and eating contest, the A&T Chevrolet-Subaru Big Wheel Downhill Derby, a food court, local merchants and vendors, and the Free Will Brewing Co. Beer Sampling Tent.
