Meet Farmer Al. That is his full name. Like Madonna, or Bono. In most parts, all you have to do is say Farmer Al and people know who you are talking about. That's because... ...he grows these:Word on the street is that they are the best in the country, and all organic too. When no one…

The Pie Whisperer

Adventures, Blog, Food HeroesAugust 15, 200913Views 0Likes 5Comments

I recently listened to the cadence of five pies consecutively – my ear against the heavy thwump of throbbing apple, the crackling of a blueberry, the bubbling of two flawless blackberry confections, and the soft gurgle of perfectly sweetened huckleberry. It was a morning of passionate pie baking interrupted only by a blackberry picking interlude.…

At Tulipwood, everyone since my great-grandfather has left their mark. This is the summer of birds -- wild Guinea hens with their keets, domesticated keets a day old that we picked up from a lady in Pennsylvania, so small and fuzzy, they fit into the palm of your hand... rapidly growing chicks, turkeys that loiter…

They patiently (sort of) waited in a basket while their paper was changed. It's amazing how quickly they can cover the entire surface of their living quarters with bird droppings....Meet Loretta, the Buff Laced Polish chicken...She's tired after her bath. One of her favorite pastimes is to roll around in bird droppings.

The post office was highly amused.There is nothing like a box of fuzzy chicks to ring in the Spring.There are a few rare breeds here. We ordered them for our neighbor who wants hens that lay green eggs. Maybe she wants green eggs and ham in the mornings?I can't blame her.I would like green eggs…

There's nothing like a bee swarm to get the day started. Here in Skejberg, Norway I'm with Hans-Otto at one of his hundreds of honey hives. He was a day late in visiting them and his bees swarmed. Swarming is what happens when the hives get too full of honey and eggs -- the queen…

In 1973 Alan Benton, (the hog smoker) realized he'd made the wrong career choice as a college guidance counselor. He heard that his neighbor was selling his ham curing business, so he sat with him under a maple tree to see if he could take it over. Today he produces the best ham and bacon…

The Salami Maker from Bielle, Ugo Buzzio, came to New York City in 1930 from Piedmont, Italy with a knack for sausage making. His corner deli on 8th Avenue in New York City looks just like any other until you look a little closer and notice the men in white coats bustling in the back.…
