22 Aug Down on the Farm
Who knew a farm could be so enthralling? I spent Saturday touring the Rogowski Farm in Pine Island, NY, and was agog at the variety of delectable goodies growing in their fields. I discovered fruit and vegetable varieties I didn’t even know existed, from cornhusk cherry tomatoes to watermelons whose insides swirled with the colors of sherbet. I was like a kid in a candy store!
The soil in that particular region of the Hudson Valley is so lush that it is black like the darkest coffee beans; the horizon is dotted with acre upon acre of fields growing some of the finest produce New York has to offer.
I’ve been exploring said environs for a very important reason, but one that I must hold as a delicious secret for now. 🙂 You’ll know the reasons very soon. Until then, let your food fantasies drift toward the luscious delicacies that will come with fall’s harvest.
