Red potato, blue potato . . .
I like doing stories for the local papers. They generally involve daytrips where I meet interesting people and see wonderful things. Here, for example, you have a bucket full of lovely spuds. Those red, white fingerling and blue potatoes grew on Caroline LaVanway’s farm on Coeling Road north of Ellsworth. Her son Phillip and grandson, young Phillip, dug […]
Business development is where you find it
August 2, 2009
A couple of weeks ago my friend Carol Park came up to visit. We had lunch at the Blue Pelican and then meandered back to Eastport along M-88, taking in the sights—and some apricots from King’s. In mid-July the markets are humming, and we contributed our share of buzz. Those are my cherries and raspberries […]
Come to the Fair again! Bigger and even more fun in 2009!
August 1, 2009
2009 Antrim County Fair Fairgrounds: Craven Park, Bellaire August 6-8 (plus the Cowboy Worship Service on Sunday morning) Last year I wrote about the Fair, and I see that people are hunting that post down now, looking for information. Time to do a new one. Here’s what I said in 2008 that is still true: […]
Goin’ for a ride, part 2: Update on U-pick at King Farm
July 9, 2009
One of the things I like about living here is that there is lots of good food and much of it grows where I am allowed to pick it. I am lazy, so I stopped off at King’s to buy some fruit that was already picked and washed. Betsy thought I should see what’s going […]
Hay Dawg!
July 4, 2009
Last weekend I was driving past Bargy’s Farm Market when I was captivated by two mysteries. A tower of baled hay, clearly on its way to becoming something else, stood on the grass. Nearby a teenage girl waved a cardboard sign that I couldn’t read. I stopped. Once Ashley had lured me close enough to […]
Good things growing at Providence Farm. And blue stuff.
July 3, 2009
It was time for an update on Providence Farm. We dropped in to see what was ready for members’ baskets this week. Lettuces, kale, snap peas, sugar peas, garlic scapes and beets were piled on the shelves. Strawberries from another organic farm in Lodi were on offer. You probably don’t introduce your children to the CEO of […]
