Andover Maple Festival 2010
Every year in Andover NY the town comes together to celebrate around maple syrup. The Rod and Gun Club serves an amazing pancake breakfast at the school and local artisans and crafts people gather to show and sell their wares. The Lions Club harvests sap from local maples and turns it into syrup at the “Sugar Shack”. I took a few pictures this year and ate myself nearly sick on maple flavoured treats of all varieties.
They are coming. Tomatoes.
Our garden is in high gear and the tomatoes are getting bigger every day. I cannot wait to eat these babies! In the meantime, a photo will suffice.
Local Six Forty Seven / Local 647
Local, fresh, friendly and fantastic. How is that for alliteration? Derek and Amanda are not only amazing people with an amazing concept they are fantastic hosts.
They run a farm to fork mobile kitchen focusing on local and sustainable food. Everything they serve on is compostable plates and they even use green cleaning products.
The Washington Post recently did a story on them which you can read here.
I travelled to Marshall Va last week to photograph them in their garden and mobile kitchen. Here are the results.

Sunday was grill day, after building my raised tomato beds I fired up the grill and made some baby ‘chokes and brilliant asparagus for photos and dinner.
These are the results:
