Here's a quick run down on a some publicity we were fortunate to have received of late:

Food Alliance recognition is popping up here and there, including a mention in Food CEO magazine, and this YouTube clip with some spiffy shots of our beautiful orchards, a little dialogue from our friends Brian Synder of PASA and Joan Norman at One Straw Farm, plus some footage shot at our Kenilworth Farmers Market:

 

Gaining Style Points

Our customers are always the most stylish folks on their block, Philadelphia Style Magazine proves it, ranking our Heirloom Apples as no. 4 on their list of the top 10 fall eats!  Thanks, Philly Style!

Upset Alert!  Washington Gardner Tomato Challenge

It was a close match, but we were narrowly edged out for top honors in the Washington Gardner Magazine Tomato Taste Test, 2010.  In a survey of over 100 tomato maniacs at the Silver Spring Farmers Market August 28th, our very own Green Zebra tomatoes were edged out by the Lemon Boy tomatoes of our friends at Down to Earth Farm.  One measly vote was all that separated us from the honor.  Our 27 votes tied for third place with our other friends (and market neighbors) at Sligo Creek Farm whose Sungold tomatoes were also a big hit.  Oddly, my favorite variety, 'Cherokee Purple' didn't fair as well.  I would have voted for Spiral Path's tomatoes, but what do I know anyhow?  What a fun idea and thanks for the folks at Washington Gardner and the Montgomery County Master Gardners for organizing this event!
