August Smallholding Update

Here’s a short film about what I got up to in the Month of August. From teaching an on-farm workshop, to harvesting barley, traveling across the country to cook and back to give a cooking demonstration at the county fair, it was a busy month. Enjoy.

The Podchef’s Recent Adventure

Here’s a short film about my recent trip to the East Coast and the local meal I cooked there for some listeners to the show. After touring around the region where I grew up, I selected some cheese from Cato Corner Farmstead Cheese, some produce from Woodbridge Farm CSA, some excellent lamb from Sankow’s Beaver Brook Farm, and some interesting wines from Priam Vineyards. Along the way my host and I stopped at many farm stands to get additional items for our meal and at Jon’s Fish Market to get some amazingly local, fresh fish. Within a 20 mile radius of our base, Colchester, we found everything we needed to eat well, and that was all within 35 miles of where I grew up. Not bad for local dining with local food.
