Tussock Sedge Farm

As I told you yesterday, we went to a farm tour/potluck dinner at Tussock Sedge Farm in Blooming Glen on Wed night.  It was a lot of fun and very informative.

Lynne Goldman of Bucks County Taste and the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance (who sponsored the event) was there and wrote a great article about it.  Once you read about this farm tour, you'll want to attend the next one on July 6.  (Unfortunately, we can't make it.)

Have a good weekend!

Musings

The last time that Jake and I went to the Philly Zoo, it was a frigid day in January.  It was actually a pretty nice time to go (if you could brave the cold) because there weren't many people there and the animals that were out, were pretty active trying to stay warm.

4 months and about 85 degrees later, we went again on Tuesday.  This time, it was crowded with lots of school trips, animals doing all they could to stay cool in the shade.  But it was still a nice time--especially with a cold strawberry ice cream to make things feel good!

We went to a great event sponsored by the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance last night--the first of their summer farm tours.  This one was at Tussock Sedge Farm here in Blooming Glen and home to Henry and Charlotte Rosenberger's grass-fed cattle.  A very nice time--a tasty potluck dinner (the beef was pretty good, too) and an interesting time learning about the Rosenberger farm.  It didn't hurt that it's about a 45 second drive home, too.  Read more about these tours here. 

FRESH Revisited

In case you missed it when we had our screening back in June, there will be a screening of Fresh: The Movie on Tuesday, Dec. 7 at the Health & Wellness Center by Doylestown Hospital on Rt. 611 in Warrington.

The program begins at 6:30 with the screening of the movie followed by a panel discussion.  But come early to taste some samples that I'll be making using local ingredients (Southwestern Butternut Squash Soup and Honeyed Apple Slaw).  You'll also be able to talk to and get information from the other panelists from Tussock Sedge Farm, Just One Seed organic farm, The Bucks County Foodshed Alliance and the nutritionists of Healthy Directions (from the Health & Wellness Center).  The Coffee Scoop from Pipersville will also be offering tastings.

If you haven't seen the film and are interested in supporting local farms and businesses, don't miss it!  You'll leave energized about changing the food culture in our country.

Registration is required and they're almost filled up, so don't wait.  Call 215-345-2121 and come out for a fun, informative and inspirational evening!
