Rustic Cherry Small Square Cutting Board

I’m not so sure about the “an apple a day” thing, but I can tell you that late summer and early fall is all about the apple around here. Apple picking, apple pie, apple crisp, apple cider, what did I miss?

Apple Crisp with Caramel by ZEAL

Did I mention that our neighbor is a CHEF? Check out Zeal – Alissa Hebert – she can’t get enough of baking, just ask her!

Hay Baby

Hay run today and a quick visit with Willis – they are super busy.

Woods Cider Mill, they have quite the syrup, cider and jelly business. If you are not from this area, their products are available online.

Apple Festivals!!

Apples!!

Speaking of Apple Festivals – Join Us for the 33rd Annual Vermont Apple Festival brought to you by the Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce!

We’ll have serving trays, cutting boards (small, medium and large) along with cribbage boards. Maybe a picture frame or two, all handmade by us.  The Springfield Farmer’s Market members will be there along with additional vendors. Should be a great time and we are certainly hoping for good turn out.
