We are also increasingly tied to the seasonal changes as well as spells of bad weather which all effect whats available and quality.    In the dead of winter we are dreaming about summer heirloom tomatoes, spring ramps, mid-summer raspberries, red oak lettuce and the multitude of local produce available at peak only during sort periods.

I thought I would share the beginnings of a personal project I am working on to document local foods, the people that grow them and the places they come from. Here are a few from last fall.

Keith’s Farm Rocambole Garlic.  Characterized by a hard stem, purplish and orange colored membrane around the cloves, crunchy and more spicing and full flavored then soft neck garlic.  Garlic is great this time of year, not only because it stores well, but it helps boost the immune system to fend of colds.

Keith’s farm Kueka Gold potatoes and white onionsDried Okra from my wife’s family farm in North Carolina.

Hotbread Kitchen’s baguettes: “Great with Cheese”!!!!
