I just got an email from iConserve Pennsylvania, a sustainability education project of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and in that email I was reminded of PA’s Buy Fresh, Buy Local website. The site is brought to you and me by the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, and it provides listings of farmers [...]

PA food month day 28: east meets west part II
Need something to unwind a bit after one of those days at work? Try a glass of wine from one of Pennsylvania’s many interesting vineyards along with a few bits of chocolate from one of our many family-owned candy manufacturers.
I’m sampling Clover Hill’s apple wine – a sweet summer treat – and a selection of [...]

PA food month day 22: east meets west
Tonight I brought the opposite sides of the GSE together with some gnocchi made by Scaramuzzo’s in Clifton Heights, near Philadelphia, and Nana’s Heirloom Tomato Sauce, which is brought to us by Walnut Ridge Farm in Avella.
I liked that Nana’s sauce is very richly tomato-tasting without being terribly lumpy. This whole chunky homestyle thing is [...]

PA food month: day 10
I found this recipe for muffins made from stone-ground corn meal, and deployed the Anselma corn meal and flour. They’re just out of the oven!
Some Liberty Bell butter, made in Philadelphia, should be just right with these.

PA food month: day 9, Pumpkin Market grand opening
I was pretty excited to learn that the folks who bring us the Pumpkin Cafe and Pumpkin restaurant on South Street in Philadelphia have launched a local-foods market. And right in the middle of PA Foods month – what perfect timing!
So I parked my scooter across the street right on the dot at 9am this [...]

PA food month: days 5 and 6
The corn meal from the Mill at Anselma made its debut for breakfast yesterday when I turned it into a hot breakfast cereal.
What I said about the flour applies here, too. The last time I bought corn meal from the supermarket, I thought it was pretty good. It was bright yellow and powdery. But this [...]

PA food month: day 4
I’ve been looking forward to this breakfast since the trip to the Mill at Anselma. We made euro-style pancakes this morning with the historically ground spring wheat. DID YOU KNOW? Flour has a flavor! Regular factory-made bleached flour would have us believe that flour is simply a carrier for other flavors. But it turns out [...]

PA food month: day one
It has been quite a day. Our car burned to a crisp this afternoon in Delaware, and half an hour ago my Macbook gave me the white screen of who-knows-what. So I’m on a borrowed computer with no photos to share at the moment. But we plowed ahead with the game plan and there were [...]

PA Food Month: the rules
Tomorrow is the start of August and the beginning of my GSE food and beverage challenge. Christian is going to join the fun, too. As much as humanly possible we’ll only eat and drink stuff that is somehow turned into a consumer product right here in the state.
The point is to identify some of the [...]

PA in the supermarket
Since I found myself at the local Superfresh today, I picked up some manufactured-in-PA stuff specifically for Pennsylvaniavore month – assuming I’ll want to eat a more varied diet than Anselma’s flour can offer.
I got some Snyders of Hanover chips, Dietz & Watson deli meat (ok, better not wait till August 1 to eat that), [...]
