Are you feeling the change?  A chilly nip in the air and those intense blue skies signal fall is approaching. And there is nothing more New England in the fall than making that annual trip to a local apple orchard, where trees hang heavy with healthy, fresh apples ready for the picking.

Since 1945, the McLeods at Norway Hill Orchard in Hancock have made that a delightful experience; the proof is their many repeat customers over the years.

"Yes, that has been really wonderful," says owner, Marguerite "Peg" McLeod. "We've had many repeat customers from all over the place."  Not only from the Monadnock Region, she notes, but traveling within the 150-mile Localvore range, customers come from as far away as Boston, Nantucket, Manchester and Maine.   

 "They discovered us on vacation, saw the signs, then planned their vacations to come back again, which has been lovely," Peg says.

Over the years, the McLeods expanded the original orchard of Cortlands, Delicious, and Baldwins (all planted in 1923), with about 1000 semi-dwarf Paula Reds, McIntosh, Empire and Macouin. The orchard provides a wonderful picnic area, so pack a lunch and make a day of it. And while picking, think apple pie, warm applesauce, apple cake, apples in salad, or just snacking on a crisp apple picked fresh from the tree. It's local. It's the best!

Paula Reds are currently available at Norway Hill Orchard's farmstand. Picking season is officially September and October; open 7 days, 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Peg suggests calling in advance to be sure your favorite apples are ready for picking.

Localvore Product Highlight
 
Bonnie Brae Farm Venison
at Hannah Grimes Marketplace

From Bonnie Brae Farms Website:
Deer farming has been around a long time. Ever since the Mesolithic era (40,000 to 10,000 BC), man has farmed deer for venison. It is a relatively new industry in North America, however, with its modern roots set in the 1980's.

Bonnie Brae Farms began as a quest for a farming endeavor that would bring over 200 acres of old farmland, which had been family property for three generations, back to life. The intent was to make the property productive, while at the same time keeping it open. In late 1992, Henry and Bruce Ahern starting investigating options, including aquaculture, ostriches, and llamas.

Ultimately, the search led to the New Hampshire Farm and Forest Expo in February of 1993 and a scheduled seminar on fish farming. However, the two brothers discovered a seminar on deer farming to be held that morning. That piqued their curiosity. They attended it, and came back with a whole new train of thought. Although aquaculture was not out of the picture at this point, deer farming soon became the focal point of their activities.

They visited both fallow and red deer farms in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. They spent four days on a Red Deer farm, feeding, working, and enjoying the deer. After running numerous calculations, doing extensive reading, checking regulations, and attending other deer farm related meetings, they made their decision - Red Deer.

Autumn of 1993 was spent ordering and putting in poles and fence. Deer were selected and ordered in December, and the first twenty-seven animals arrived on February 17, 1994. Bonnie Brae Farms was a reality!

Located in Plymouth, NH - the gateway to both the White Mountains and the Lakes Region - Bonnie Brae Farms enjoys the exposure of busy Route 3 just off Interstate 93, and the quiet of a rural neighborhood. As the third deer farm in the state of New Hampshire, Bonnie Brae Farms has been able to utilize its location to generate interest in deer farming and to educate the general public regarding raising deer and the health benefits of venison.

Find Bonnie Brae Farm's venison sticks, stew meat, & ground venison at the Hannah Grimes Marketplace.

Natural Resource Business Institute
September - December
UNH Cooperative Extension
13-week course will help natural resource entrepreneurs plan for success
Perhaps you've thought of putting your open fields to better use by raising beef cattle for the local market. Or, for some extra summer income, adding Pick-Your Own raspberries to your Christmas tree operation. Maybe you've wondered about the feasibility of producing shitake mushrooms on your woodlot, boarding horses or starting a campground. Should you diversify a multi-generation dairy operation to increase income opportunities that will encourage your children to keep farming after you retire?

An interdisciplinary team of UNH Cooperative Extension staff has teamed with outside experts to offer a 13-week Natural Resource Business Institute (NRBI) this Fall at UNH Thompson School of Applied Sciences in Durham. This first-of-its-kind course will provide individuals and families who want to start or expand a natural resource-based business with the essential information and preparation they need to be successful.

Dates and times: Wednesday evenings,
September 10 through December 10, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Location: UNH Thompson School, Durham, NH

Food Security ProjectBrattleboro Reformer, September 1, 2008
Brattleboro, VT -Post Oil Solutions will sponsor three fundraisers this fall for its new Food Security Project. As part of its larger Regional Food Sustainability Campaign, the goal of which is to help the people of the Windham County region become increasingly food self-sufficient, the FSP is a multi-pronged effort at producing locally-produced food for low-income neighbors. Staffed by three VISTA volunteers and the POS community organizer, the project's major goals are to provide food for area food shelves, homeless shelters and soup kitchens through gleaning projects and community gardens; organize resident-run community gardens in low-income communities, including container gardens; sponsor workshops in low-income communities on gardening, canning, root cellaring and cooking; and initiate a major Independence (from fossil fuels) Garden campaign that would encourage everyone to have a garden -- by themselves, or collaboratively, with neighbors -- and to grow a row or two to share with others.

The first of these will be a dance on Friday, Sept. 26, at 8 p.m., at the Evening Star Grange in Dummerston Center. Music is by area favorite, Simba. Admission is $10.

'Chefs of the Soil' Know the Secret to Great Tomatoes
By Sasha Chapman, globeandmail.com
August 30, 2008
Toronto, CANADA  - When Elaina Asselin gave up her career as one of Toronto's top female chefs to move to a farm in Northumberland County three years ago, she had no intention of turning her back on her love of food.  Far from it: She wanted to dig deeper, literally, planting hectares and hectares of heirloom tomato plants that would eventually supply some of the top restaurants in this city (Splendido, Canoe) along with specialty grocers like Harvest Wagon and Golden Orchards in the St. Lawrence Market.

"I love food so much," she explains. "I wanted to see the process from the beginning." In one sense, Ms. Asselin was swimming against the tide. Southern Ontario's production of fresh field tomatoes was slashed in half in the late 1990s (to just over 1,000 hectares) when it became harder and harder for farmers to compete with cheap foreign imports.

Meanwhile, Ontario farmers have become experts in the more lucrative - but less tasty - greenhouse tomatoes (at $205-million, they represent more than double the field-tomato crop value). The greenhouse fruit is pretty enough to fetch a better price for export.
But passion knows no logic. Ms. Asselin grew up picking - and eating - tomatoes in her father's garden in Toronto ("we'd both get cankers") and putting up bushels of produce from St. Lawrence Farmers' Market with her mother. As the former chef sees it, farming isn't much different from working in restaurants: In both cases, it's about sharing a passion for food.

Localvore Fact of the Week
From Leopold Center
According to a report by the Leopold Center, comparing farmer delivery or customer pick-up CSAs, weekly farmer distribution (using a four-door hybrid compact car) used 2.77 times less fuel than customer pick-up using average U.S. passenger vehicle efficiency. If all customers were to drive a similar hybrid compact car to pick up their food, farmer distribution would still use 1.35 times less fuel.
