Thanks !

We have neighbors all around us that are the best! It is nice to see that the next generation carrys on that tradition. Last summer our last born heifer calf was kind of late for our calving season but just perfect for the 4-H show season cutoff date. Pansy was born to Poppy on June 6th 2008 and we arranged to give her to Drew Debnam for his 4-H project. We received a nice note from Drew a few days later but yesterday the card and photograph above were totally unexpected. Thank you Drew!

To the right is a photo for Drew. Poppy and new born Pansy on June 6th.

Happy Thanksgiving

2010 Field to Fork Dinner

Beautiful setting – perfect weather - but best of all-delicious food! That is how one guest described the 2010 Field to Fork dinner. We were blessed with a wonderful evening of warm weather, clear skies, good friends and a fantastic menu.

The dinner was a sold out!! We thank all who attended but especially those of you who drove over the bridge to get here. Several guests hailed from the Western shore and DC area. It was great to see all of you.

Taylor Stefanovicz and Megan Solloway from the Kent County High School’s Culinary Arts Program did a terrific job waiting tables and helping the catering staff. Chef Dave Perry and his staff performed their usual magic, transforming a pasture into a relaxed, yet beautiful dining area and turning fresh, local ingredients into a marvelous meal. Fair Hill Inn Chef Brian Shaw crafted sausage from our veal that was absolutely delicious.

Special thanks to Mattie Meehan, Still Pond Photography, who managed to capture the essence of the event in the accompanying photos and to Paula Salerno, who jazzed up our invitations and website with her creative designs and artistry. And thanks to Doug Rae for baking his wonderful bread which doubled as beautiful centerpieces and delicious parting gifts.

Because of the generosity of our guests, donors and vendors who gave us much appreciated discounts, we will be donating $1581.00 John Keller’s culinary arts program which he will use to purchase small appliances and tableware. Of course, we are encouraging him to buy an ice cream maker in honor of St. Brigid, patron saint of dairy maids!
