Mmmm Cheese
Sunday I took the afternoon to go the Maine Cheese Festival with a friend. Maine is incredible for its access to local food and the amazing people that produce, preserve, render, grow and transform it. Many folks make the same "kind" of cheese (bloomy rind, tomme, soft....) but the flavor is unmistakably unique from each place. Super fun to see this thriving venture and to TASTE it all!!
Fun to see some critters (the Festival was at Wolf's Neck Farm) that we don't see around our place. I snapped many photos of these goats, but they would not stand still!
Speaking of critters, our pigs recently moved to the woods. They are having fun in their new environment. I went to feed them yesterday morning and they were still fast asleep from their adventuring and the cool weather. Sleeping pigs makes feeding them MUCH easier!!! Maybe with today's rain, I'll be able to sneak up on them again : )
Pepper Time! Lots of sweet colors harvested yesterday!
