Here in Western Massachusetts we have just finished a two week run of the Eastern States Exposition, or, as we call it, The Big E.  If you grew up here, like I did, your childhood probably consisted of annual trips to this state fair and wouldn’t have been complete without a ride down the big […]

Today we stopped by the Zucchini Festival in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts.  This annual event draws quite the crowd…so much so that we drove around the entire town about three times before we could find a parking spot.  The festival was full of zucchini enthusiasts including the Zucchini Queenie who was dressed in green sequence and […]

Wild Ramps from the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts – served with Pancetta and Orzo Pasta

May 17, 2013 Leave a Comment

Wild ramps are a great taste of spring and so you have to get them during their all too brief season.     The foraging is a case of walking through woodland trails of Western Massachusetts until you smell the garlicky spring onion aroma… then look around and voila, there are the ramps.  They do […]

Rawson Brook Farm Monterey Chèvre

July 27, 2012 Leave a Comment

One of the best parts about living in Western Massachusetts is the abundance of local foods and wonderful farms.  A couple of years ago we accidentally stumbled upon Rawson Brook Farm in Monterey, Massachusetts.  We were out for a drive and ended up on a dirt road which, as we recall, was quite dusty, and […]
