A visit to the farm.

This past Sunday, the Goat Lady Dairy had their fall open farm day, so we headed out to see where some of our very favorite cheese comes from!  We buy their stuff at the farmer's market all the time, and it's all so very good.  If you're in the Greensboro area and have never tried it, you're missing out.

The dairy was about a 40 minute drive, and Ella, who had not had a nap, fell asleep about halfway there.  Needless to say, she was a tad on the crabby side when we arrived and had to wake her up.  Poor planning on our part, I guess.

Anyway, it wasn't too crowded at all when we got there.  I don't know if maybe the semi-overcast weather kept people away or what.  There were several other local farms there selling various meats, cheeses, breads (all of which were gone by the time we arrived...boo), etc.  We picked up some kielbasa and a gorgeous flank steak...and of course some goat cheese!  This time, we got Sunny Paris, which is full of happy, bright flavors.

Here are a few more pictures from the afternoon:

Farmer's Market

It was a gorgeous fall day today (if a little warm), so we headed out to the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market. We didn't really have anything that we were going after, aside from some apples for me so I can try a new apple dumpling recipe.

I'd never seen so many different varieties of eggplant!


It's scuppernong and muscadine season!


They had what I thought was an adorable pumpkin house...


...but it turned out to be a Ghoul School -- even cuter!
