Fresh turkeys in
Bucks - 2010
Halloween is over. You know what time it is now. Thanksgiving time!
I'm already getting lots of hits (reads) of my posts from last year
on where to get a local turkey (or where to go out to eat on
Thanksgiving). Here's an update for 2010 on where you can get
fresh, natural turkeys in Bucks County. Not all are raised here
(some come from Lancaster County), but they are all fresh and can
be picked up just before Thanksgiving. And don't dilly-dally. Some
of these producers/vendors may already be sold out! Here's an
alphabetical list of markets, farms and producers where you can get
the birds, along with key information...

 Have you ever had a Bucks County Biscotti?
If not, you don't know what you're missing, says guest blogger Rich Baringer, munching as he writes about
these delicious, locally made Italian treats. He loves the
Classic Anise Almond, subtly sweet with tiny anise seeds

 Cathy Snyder, ordinary citizen, showed

organizations. All in a big red Ford Excursion...

Guest blogger Rich Baringerexplores the great variety of
pumpkins and how you can eat them too in this post.
 When I
was a kid, my grandfather, who was quite the farmer, would always
make personalized pumpkins for me, my sister and our cousins. When
the pumpkin was very small, he would use a pen knife to carve our
names and a little picture-by just slightly scoring the skin. As
the pumpkin grew, so did the carving. We always looked forward to
getting this special treat from him. For those looking for a
healthy diet, pumpkin is a great addition because it's low in
calories and high in potassium and Vitamin A. You can use pumpkin
and most squash (even sweet potatoes) interchangeably in many
recipes. And, if kept in a cool and dry spot, a pumpkin will last
for several months...
