« Farm Tour: breaking news

How was your Farm Tour day?

Were you one of the est. 1500+ people who spent yesterday visiting farms on the Whatcom Farm Tour?

What was YOUR favorite stop?  What did you see that was new or interesting?  What was your favorite flavor of the day?

My favorite flavor was the Interlaken Grape at Cloud Mountain Farm, a green seedless grape that puts the normal storebought variety to shame.  Pure farm candy, complex and tart and sweet and bursting, mmm.  I once made raisins on a food dehydrator with similar grapes, and WOW, what a treat!!

Send in your farm tour favorites, I’d love to hear them!
