This weekend, a friend and I made our annual outing to see historic homes in Tarrytown, NY (aka Sleepy Hollow, home of Washington Irving and the Headless Horsemen and Rip Van Winkle).
Every year, the trip includes a scenic trainride along the Hudson River, a tour of a historic home (this year we visited Kikuit, home of four generations of the Rockefeller family), and a pub lunch at the Horsefeathers Pub. A perfect day.
This year's outing was taken to a new level with the discovery of Tarrytown's farmers' market. We ate delicious roasted, curried cashews from Tierra Farm, bought the most gorgeous Baby French Breakfast radishes and carrots and, of course, tasted cheeses.
Calkins Creamery in Wayne Co, Delaware. Calkins Creamery is a sixth generation family farm. They make 14 different cheeses, including this the delicious, nutty "farmer boy" tomme. In addition to cheese, they raise beef, pork and vegetables.
Now that's a work ethic that John D. Rockefeller would approve of!
