Harvest


Bowling corn with pumpkins.

We were driving in rural Maryland yesterday and passed a "Harvest Festival" at a local farm. There must have been five hundred cars there, with tents set up and hayrides cruising the fields. It's that time of year, and these activities are popping up all over, and that's a good thing.

Here's a report from one in Pennsylvania.

Out on the Farm



I meant to mention this event up in Connecticut last month, but missed it.

Flamig Farm, operating for more than 100 years in my hometown of Simsbury, is an island of enlightenment in the sea of the suburbs. They make getting out on the farm fun, and they are practicing what they preach, Their event Eggstock is a big late spring festival. We'll need to check it out next year.
