I love the Holiday Farmers’ Market and I’d been looking forward to yesterday for a long time. Did you miss out? Don’t worry, there are markets again on Saturday, December 17 in Williamstown and Great Barrington. They’re a great place to finish up your Christmas shopping (as of yesterday, mine is done!) and meet local [...]
I didn’t want to run yesterday. It had been raining on and off for days, it was cold and I’d hardly run during the past few weeks. But, like I tell my students on a regular basis, sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do. So, yesterday afternoon Brian and I headed [...]
Saturday night Brian and I ventured to Rub Bourbon and Barbecue in downtown North Adams (they also have a website here, but it appears to be unfinished). He’s been itching to try it for a while now and we had an available night (shocking!) so we decided to check it out. Rub’s menu is so [...]
We are not big on eating out. It’s not that I don’t like restaurants, but I like cooking and saving money too much to go to out on a regular basis. If we eat out more than once a month, its a rarity. But once in awhile, we make an exception. Prior to last Sunday, [...]
I really, really, really dislike winter. I’m terrified of winter driving, I’m perpetually cold and its dark all the time. Winter and I are not friends. But today began one of the few things that will make winter a little bit less sad. Today was the first pick up of our winter CSA membership! Last [...]
Since we had such a good time last year, yesterday Brian and I headed north to the 15th Annual Southern Vermont Garlic and Herb Festival. It was a beautiful day (a little chilly, actually) and the festival was rather busy. We had a great time. One of our friends commented to us that they’d chosen [...]
It was such a cool and exciting day last spring when we got an email from our friends asking if we’d like to take their CSA share for the first part of the summer while they were traveling. Would we? My semi-newness to the area and unsure job situation, plus general procrastination meant that we [...]
In case you missed the memo, I love our CSA. It makes me want to quit my job and live on a farm (not that I’m going to…). I thought I’d attempt to explain my love by showing off some of the photos I took last week: (Please let me know if the slideshow doesn’t [...]
Last night I had the exciting opportunity to listen to farmer and author Ben Hewitt speak. Ben is the author of The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food. After all the press the book’s been getting (see below), I was surprised he was coming to the Berkshires. I was [...]
I am so incredibly excited that it’s now officially spring. I was so excited yesterday I that forgot to even finish this post! Fear not, the weekly highlights from the web are here! I really can’t complain. I was a little concerned about how bad winter in the Berkshires was going to be (I know…I’m [...]
