My friend gave me 2 kinds of Miso Soup from South River Miso Company when I was sick. I have to…read moresay I love this stuff. I live in California but it is worth it to order it from MA. I tried 2 kinds. Golden Millet which I liked and Dandelion Leek which I pretty much want to start eating every day. It is organic and a serving (which I actually eat more like 3 servings) but I really like that it has 15 calories, 2 grams of carbs, 1 gram of protein and no sugar. But the main thing about it, is that I felt really good after eating it. My body liked it.

South River miso is the real thing. It's made in a beautiful place (I've been there) with total…read moreexpertise and integrity, aged in wooden casks like a fine wine. I've been ordering it for many years and it's one of the finest food products I've ever experienced. There are quite a few varieties and they each have distinctive flavors. The special Dandelion Leek is amazing, I love the Sweet White (sweet from its process, never "sweetened") and 3 Year Hearty Brown Rice, but every kind is a real treat. It's packed in glass jars so with shipping I guess it could be called pricey, but it's worth every penny. It's amazingly health-enhancing as well as delicious. I have recommended it for years to everyone who would listen to me.

I picked up several bottles of "Mountain Fire" Hot Sauce during a recent trip to Shelburne Falls,…read moreMA. I found the hot sauce at a place along The Mohawk Trail called "Hager's Farm Market." The hot sauce is made by, according to the label - "Mother's of Shelburne." However, their web site lists their name as "Mother's Inc." Anyway, this is a kick ass flavorful Habanero hot sauce - with a very nice heat bite to it. I love how they've balanced flavor and heat. The best of both worlds! The sauce is this gorgeous deep yellow hue. I'm almost out of this hot sauce, so I'm preparing to buy a case of it online! In addition to hot sauce, they prepare and sell jams, jellies, relishes, chutneys, preserves, pickles, butters, mustards, and more!

This sauce ROCKED. Excellent garlic flavor, fresh tomato taste, a hint of onions. It was amazing. It tasted exactly like the marinara that my grandmother would have made, if my grandmother was Italian and could actually cook. Definitely will be looking for more of Ooma's for my next home cooked dinner. Keep an eye out for it at your local farmers market or order online.

I cannot begin to describe how unexpectedly delightful this amazing sauce is! You can tell lots of…read morelove goes into every batch of this delectable concoction because of how incredible it tastes. I bet this is because the sauciers only allow the freshest of whole plum tomatoes, most flavorful garlic, and the sweetest onions to gently simmer in the sauce with really aromatic spices, and this make it uniquely delicious. Try it on your favorite pasta, or spread it on a pizza. You can even drink it right from the bottle - it's that good. Make it the top-secret ingredient in the best ratatouille you will ever make. Or, purchase the finest artisanal ravioli and use Ooma Tesoro's to complement it perfectly. Some of my family members like it paired with a Cheese Florentine Ravioli from Joseph's Gourmet Pasta. Personally, I use it as the base for Creamy Tomato Basil Capellini, and whenever I serve it to my friends, they always cry out for more. There is lots of yummy hand-crafted magic in every quaint little mason jar it comes in, and the aroma that wafts up from the stove when you start to heat it up is simply indescribable. It is like heaven in a bottle! Michael Tesoro was gifted with divine inspiration in the form of the recipe for this superlative sauce by his grandmother, and the sauce he makes today based on the knowledge she bequeathed him would make her proud. Use this sauce as the in inspired culinary creations - your friends will think you slaved over the stove all day. The taste is like a symphony for your taste buds. There is something truly special about this sauce, and that's why I think it has taken the country by storm. What makes it the culinary equivalent of an exquisitely rendered artistic masterpiece? Perhaps, Robin and Michael procure their herbs from only the finest of growers - herbs grown on sun-dappled hills, sprinkled on by just the right amounts of rain, and chosen precisely for their power to accentuate and tease out the subtle flavors of the vegetables that the sauce simmers in. But, I think credit for this splendid sauce goes to the fine artisans who know their way around a kitchen and can reproduce their magic for the masses. Because, there is some wondrous culinary alchemy going on here, and this sauce has no equal anywhere else on the planet. You taste even one drop, and you are instantly whisked away to Old Italy. So, if you are up for a singular taste experience this evening, go out to your local store and buy a jar of Ooma Tesoro's. Better yet, buy lots of it. You will soon be won over by just how magnificent it really is.

I was 40 feet from the door, and the smell wafting toward me was fabulous. Inside, there were several bakers preparing muffins and other goodies (for the next day?). Lucy was waiting on a woman who had driven down from Brattleboro. This woman was praising the decaf coffee, and baked goods. I opted for a lemon bar and an almond croissant with chocolate. The woman approved. Quick digression - very clean bathroom, w an interesting painted sink (see pix)....and an old Remington typewriter. The lemon bar was amazing. My lips were so puckered the rest of my 50+ mile ride home, I was fantasizing about my good friend, also named Lucy, and what I could do with those puckered lips. Had the croissant later that evening. One of the best I've ever tasted. Definitely worth a visit.

They also sell some produce from other local farmers. The family claims to offer the best tomatoes in the Pioneer Valley. I agree. I regularly buy their "seconds" to make tomato soup, a favorite of mine. I find their seconds better than the firsts offered by many stands and certainly better than most tomatoes sold at supermarkets. The variety of produce available here is delightful. Ratatouille fans will be in their glory, trying to select which variety of eggplant, summer squash and more to enhance this classic for this visit. For those who like their ratatouille with a kick, the farmers have developed a passion for peppers and offer a wide variety of these difficult-to-grow-in-Massachusetts veggies. Hey, even if you're not a cook, but a watercolorist, this is the place to purchase all of your "models." Imagine piles of yellow, green, purple and orange peppers in a beautiful, handthrown ceramic bowl. After you paint their portrait, stretch yourself in the kitchen, take out the wok and stewpot and make something tasty. The farm also offers fresh flowers grown on site and bedding plants in the spring.
