Treats Indoors & Out
ON WEEKENDS, BAKED GOODS: Hand-made cider donuts - with real-deal oil-blots on their brown-paper bags... AND fabulous apple confections and pies, all from local Piper Brook bakery --
PLUS amazing sourdough loaves from close-by Rise and Mend bakery. (Baked goods, especially doughnuts, sell out fast, so try to bring your cravings up here in the AM...)
EVERY OPEN DAY: Boiled-cider jelly & syrup from Willis Wood -- deep, concentrated flavor, also some new maple products from Tomapo Farm, a squash we'd never seen before...
And Heidi at Tomapo Farm has added to her range of maple products. (Way back before cane sugar became affordably available, maple in these many forms was an old-school sweetener. Honey was another.) From syrup to granules to creams, these maple products come from traditional skills.
AND of course the range of Apple Hill Farm jams and jellies, plus so many more treats of the season!
Here are a few peeks at the bounty:
Squash, pie pumpkins & gourds from Edgewater Farm & MacLennan Farm. All are decorative, delicious, long-keeping and fun except those stylish little white jobs on the right. They're mostly fun, though eating them is harmless. (The Black Futsu squash has a great flavor rep and keeps for ages, can't wait to try it.)
Honey! Some of it from beehives that live in our outer orchards, all of it sooo good, from skilled beekeepers Troy Hall and Rob Calvert:
OK, two more seasonal treats outside the farm-stand:
And of course:
