There will be prepared food available for enjoying on the grounds, or to be taken home for the weekend barbecue!

“It is not meant for all of us to farm. But it is meant for all of us to eat. And we all have a right to nutritious food to keep us ‘healthy, wealthy and wise.’ To the greatest extent possible, this means local food.” — John E. Carroll
What a fabulous quote! I had the honor of sitting next to John Carroll at the Farmer to Consumer workshop this past winter. I am quite excited to see he'll be speaking at the Barrington Public Library on June 25th at 6:30 pm.
This event is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Amy Inglis by e-mail or at 603-664-0193.

Let's go back to school! A great option for fresh eggs is to raise your own chickens. Rob and Joe of Yellow House Farm are hosting a fabulous introduction class to chicken husbandry. Space is limited, so if you're serious, sign up quickly!

What a whirlwind weekend! Life has been so utterly crazy lately!
Saturday my mom and I took the kids to the Fall Foliage Fest hosted by the Good Shepherd School in Barrington, NH. The kids had a grand ole time bouncing in the bouncy houses and we enjoyed a few hot dogs and cookies! We didn't stick around for the auction, but it looks like a bunch of great things were available.
After the festival, we took the kids to the Coppal House Farm & Corn Maze in Lee, NH. I will be blogging about this activity this week. So stand by for that post!
I totally missed the Butternut Farm Fall Festival today! Church service was smack dab in the middle of the festival and we didn't get home in time! I hope somebody was able to go and join the fall festivities. I do need to get back to Butternut to pick some more apples!
October 25th and 26th will be the last Applecrest Farm weekend festivals. Lots of free things to do and a bunch of apples to pick. This would made a great "end of fall" activity!
The October Eat Local challenge is still going on for the remainder of October. I am ashamed to tell you how I've been doing. Let's just say that I'm doing the best I can! It's been tough with two young mouths to feed and a limited budget. I will be picking up my 2nd co-op order on Tuesday, though, so I am doing good eating local meats. Be on the lookout for a few new stew/soup recipes 
in the next week or so.
Also note that you still have time to enter Annie's Homegrown Kiwi magazine offer. And finally, for a bit of Monday fun, head over to Confessions of an Apron Queen and enter her weekly apron giveaway!

I attempted to make the Lemon Blueberry Bundt cake for the company coming over Sunday afternoon. Well the recipe came together just fine, but it seems like I didn't grease the bundt pan enough. Oh well, live and learn. So we're now eating crumbled lemon blueberry "bundt" cake. Looks like company will be eating blueberry crumb bars which baked so much better.
BUT on the upside, I did come across a use for this bundt pan of mine. It makes a great tool for cutting corn off the cob! Check out this webpage for the awesome tip.
And Lucy and I also got some great vegetables at the Barrington Farmer's Market this morning. We picked up green beans, corn on the cob and fresh cut flowers for our company and tomatoes and broccoli for meals this week. I meant to pick up some more zucchini for the recipes I have on deck, but I forgot!
Lucy and I also stopped by Calef's for our tradition of donuts after the farmer's market.
She really enjoyed her sugared chocolate donut!
