Travel Tuesday: Golden Harvest Farm + Harvest Spirits in Valatie, NY

Harvest Spirits Distillery

While I lived in rural New York last year one place I frequented, besides the Claverack Library, was Golden Harvest farm. I have an undeniable sweet tooth and warm cider donuts are one of my absolute favorites. Their farm store stays open all year, where you can get their cidet [...]

Camphill Village, Week 51

Onions laying in the hay wagon

This first bit might seem like too much information, but read to the end it gets better. Last Friday Eme farted. This is not an abnormal occurrence anywhere for anyone, but what happened next is definitely something I have never experienced. Eme blamed it on the basil. [...]

Camphill Village: Miss Whatsit In the Greenhouse With A Row Marker

Mystery Plant and tomato plants

Wednesday night Miss Whatsit and I stole* food. The best kind of food. Not from the co-op nor was it for the noble purpose of feeding the starving (although if everything goes well we could). We stole them because we want to work on our green thumbs. I [...]

November 14th: Saturday Sushi & Two Camphill Firsts

Giselle and I made sushi this evening for supper in Omaskos. I hadn’t realized I was helping prepare dinner until well after sushi making was under way. The two Camphill firsts I experienced today were being invited to a meal at a different house and Bible evening. I’m sure that every house does mealtimes [...]

September 19 Outing: Colombia County Farm Festival

Last Saturday I went out to the Colombia County Farm Festival which was being held at Golden Harvest Farms in Valatie (pronounced Va-lay-sha), NY. I had found it through the self guided driving tour being held by Mid Hudson Valley Tourism Board calledGarden of Eating.I went with a friend and we explored the festival- [...]
