Autumn in New England

Pictures from over the years of Barberry Hill Farm support the BBC's premise that New England in Autumn is one of Earth's Greatest Spectacles

“[One of] three of the most seasonally changeable landscapes on earth...,  New England is the stage for the most incredible colour change... when the vivid greens of summer give way to the golds and reds of autumn.”

Plum Jam for This Season's Final CSA Pickup

A Serving Suggestion
What happens when you combine plums with bay leaves, coriander, cider vinegar, sugar, orange zest, salt, and ancho chiles?  If you ask our resident intern, Hadyn Coxen, the answer is plumb jam with as much savory as sweet.  Barberry Hill Farm's CSA members will get a jar to taste for themselves at this week's pickup, to mark the last of the season.   

A variation of this recipe is in the cook book, A Boat, a Whale & a Walrus: Menus and Stories by Renee Erickson.
