Strawberries!

posted at Sun Jun 29 14:41:17 2008 by admin

One of my favorite things about the start of summer is strawberry season.

Of course you can get strawberries all year long, even if they've had to travel halfway around the world to get to you, but nothing compares to a local strawberry in season, so ripe that it's deep red through to the core and can bruise just from being looked at.

Strawberries are in season now, and many farms and markets in the area carry local berries. Some of the farms even offer pick-your-own strawberries.

You can very easily get a list of farms and farm stands that offer strawberries.

UVFood's Big Update

posted at Sun Jun 15 08:55:52 2008 by admin

You may not have heard of it before, but UVFood has been online since June 2007. Our mission is to be a resource for local food in the Upper Valley area - not to just provide a skeletal listing of telephone book entries, but to provide real information on restaurants, to build up a history of them (want to know what happened to your favorite restaurant? if we know, it'll be in here and will remain here) and offer a place for you to express your opinion about them and find other people's opinions.

Using UVFood, you can learn about food-related organizations in the Upper Valley, download their contact information to your address book, find their hours, see reviews and photos of them and even find them on the map.

Mother's Day in the Upper Valley

posted at Fri May 9 14:42:13 2008 by admin

Beyond the traditional gift of flowers for Mother's Day (this Sunday, May 11th), many people celebrate by taking their moms to brunch, the unholy love child of breakfast and lunch. While the Upper Valley has had few brunch offerings in the past, these days there are many more options to chose from.

The Return of the Farmer's Markets

posted at Sun May 4 00:08:43 2008 by admin

During the (arguably) warmer months of the year I have a Saturday morning habit. I'll get up and head to Norwich, trying to arrive at roughly 9AM - when The Norwich Farmer's Market opens.
