Farm fresh produce
Yesterday was a good day to be out and about for a person (or a spaniel) who loves produce. I bought a large bag of McIntosh apples and some sweet, sweet plums at King’s. Then I stopped at Providence Farm. I’ve told you all about the CSA before, but now there’s something new. On Tuesdays […]
Rocky Top future blowing in the wind
September 19, 2009
I stopped at Rocky Top to buy some jam and ran into Tom Cooper, which was a good thing, as I had some questions. Tom and Ruthie are the owners of Rocky Top Farms, so he was well supplied with answers. I wanted to know how “Busted Knee” Cherry Salsa got its name. It seems […]
USA Today catches up with Torch Lake Views
September 9, 2009
Unless you stumbled in here for the first time today, you know King’s is a great place to pick apples. (And cherries and raspberries and peaches and nectarines but I digress.)

The Tomatoes Are In
August 26, 2009
This has been a bad year for tomatoes, and I have suffered. I love tomatoes. Crave them. Remember eating them right from the garden, with the sun still on them, back when they were tomatoes. Sometimes I settle for less than true tomato-ness because even the semblance of the real thing is better than nothing […]
Market report: Corn’s in! Done shakin’ cherries. Time to roast a peach.
August 21, 2009
Some people get tweets from their commodities traders. You get the FAQs board from King’s and the news heard at the Eastport Market. You are fortunate indeed. Local corn is coming in, and is it good. Bolts corn at the Eastport Market, Shooks corn at the little roadside stand on M-88, King corn at the […]
