Farm Girl Faves: New England Food Spots

Written by Chelsea Bardot Lewis
I moved to the north shores of Massachusetts almost four years ago when my husband took a job at Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton, Massachusetts. I had been living in Somerville, Massachusetts, which I loved, and was a bit anxious about moving to the suburbs.
I was amazed at how quickly we

New England Winter Farmer’s Market

By Shelby Graham
I miss Summer. I know I’m not the only one. But while others miss the beach and icy margaritas, I miss visiting the farmers’ market each week. Last year was the first time I signed up for a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever

Homemade Donuts from The Coffee Shop

Written by Heather Atwood
You may know Rockport, Massachusetts for its little red shack at the end of the pier, its picturesque harbor crowded with fishing boats, but do you know about its donuts?
The best, the absolute best, homemade donuts come from a sliver of a place on Rockport’s Main St., just across from the Congregational

Pretty Things Beer and Ale

By Shelby Graham

T.W. Food Local Dinner

Locavores everywhere are jealous of anyone with a root cellar. A root cellar is an under-earth method of storing homegrown produce to make it all last through the non-growing season. I don’t have one, but a girl can dream. Without one, my squash, pumpkins and gourds sadly just don’t make it past November. Then again,

Boston’s Bazaar Bizarre

Have you finished all your holiday shopping yet? Sadly, my answer to that is no.
This time last year, I had every present accounted for and wrapped under a decked out tree. This year… well… I’ve been busy launching a holiday gift box (among too many other things). I’m not worried though. On Sunday, I plan

Latitude 43, Gloucester, MA

I hate to say that I lowered my expectations at this newish Gloucester joint, but I did. I really anticipated hating every single item on the menu at Latitude 43. And I had good reason to! First, the outside looks like a Joe’s All American Bar & Grill – ick! Next, the menu is long
