What a great idea..... but I am sure the pictured menu dated 2006
will be updated?

We have a lot of Hutterites around here and they host dinners and
lunches for the public, but I haven't figured out how to find out about
them in advance. I don't know if the local farmers do anything like
this, but it's a great idea.

Here in Virginia Beach, they did a week called Farm to Feast
Restaurant Week. It was a week where maybe a doxzen different places
put together a special 3-course menu like they do for rest. week, prix
fixe $30, but these were special menus based on local produce and
seafood and meats, with each menu noting the sources for most of the
ingredients. This was done mid-summer so lots of tomatoes, corn, basil
on the menus. Yum!

We used to live down the road from the Princess Anne Farmers Market down
by the courthouse. Is it still in business?

My former part of Maryland being what it is, there are two day-long
seafood festivals - one in St. Michael's and the other in Crisfield.
The Crisfield event is famous for bringing out the politicians, who
schmooze with each other and the voters and hope to collect the votes,
but a great time is had by all.

It sounds great. Is that in Washington state?

Italy is famous for still having what are called sagra of this or festa of
that. Some things get celebrated at the harvest time, like truffles, or
this week I am going to a sagra of onions, others just fit into the area's
social calendar like polenta which doesn't really have a season.

It is, and there are several more single-day farmer's markets around
town as well as all the stands down by pungo. My produce is about 90%
local all summer. It's gotten harder this year since I've really made
a commitment; for eaxmple, strawberry season here is so short, then
the only option is grocery-store berries, so we switch to blues and
blacks in season. We don't eat produce that's not from the farmer's
market, CSA, or local famer's stands, other than a few things like
bananas, grapes and onions.
