Maggie! Great news- we’re working on scheduling our next CHIVE ‘Friend Dinner’ for late March. Additionally- I found your blog yet again when searching Farnum Hill Cider. I was in NYC this weekend visiting my great Aunt Faity who lives in Manhattan but also has a farm house in Kinderhook, NY- neighbors with Old Chatham Sheep Farm (you probably know their yogurt and cheese!!!). Anyways, she was asking about Chive and I told her how we’ve solved our wine and liquor challenges through finding sources like Berkshire Mountain Distilleries and Turtle Creek Winery in Lincoln. Anyways (again…), she was excited to share with me her connection to Farnum Hill….SO- she was the chairman of the board of the Brooklyn Botanics Garden for 20+ years, and the woman who took over her position after she completed her term was Louisa Spenser who is related/co-owner of Farnum Hill. She was so excited that she wanted to walk us up 2 blocks to meet her but when she rang she wans’t home. Needless to say we’re dying to take a field trip. Have you been? Perhaps you can bring their cider to the next Friend Dinner and even do a blog post on it? March 23rd is the potential date on the docket… Hope you can join. Cheers! -Julia

oooh I just love Farnum Hill cider- I found them totally by accident a few years ago while apple picking at Poverty Lane Orchards near Hanover. You are right, it really is more like a sparkling wine than what we are used to with Magners, Woodchuck, etc. I think I will have to go ahead and stop by Federal Wine and Spirits to pick some up before the weekend! Btw, is there a recipe for your husband's pulled pork on here? I have been looking for a really outstanding recipe.
