I tagged a handful of farms to visit to buy different produce and meats and what ever else folks offered and this place did not disappoint. We had an hour before heading down @Cabbagethrowfarm as they open at 2 pm so, we stopped @countryfreshfarm to meet Sheri and the hard working staff filling vegetable bins, washing buckets, re-arranging merchandise and making sure the products were ready for the Friday afternoon customers. The free parking lot adjoins the property and beyond there are a myriad of merchandise strewn along the outside of the building to buy from wooden benches, Cowboy boot bird houses, garden carts, flag holders, plants and a separate shed/room full of decorative indoor/outdoor plaques, signs, trays, pictures of Highland cows (my fave) and candles, country kitschy items for every personal style. Everyone was helpful, engaging, shared some info about where certain items were sourced and how they came about selling their items. I purchased a loaf of Amish cheese bread (I'll review that later), some sweet corn, tomatoes and the succulent cantaloupe that I cut up that night and absolutely sweet and ripe. (No comparison to the methane sprayed supermarket melons which are hard and never ripen to their potential sweetness!) There is a play area for the children plus a corn table to occupy them. As the weather gets cooler, we'll return to see what FALL weather offers us.

(This one is from the archives as the visit took place during the Northampton County Open Gate Farm…read moreTour weekend back in October so I may have forgotten more than I remember by this point.) I'm not an alcohol person by a long shot. But even with my Quaker tendencies a good hard cider is always in my wheelhouse and when I saw that Elvern was once again going to be on the Northampton County Farm Tour I knew that it was time to "get off the schneid" and make the trip to Mount Bethel. Now while I've heard second hand that Elvern has had a long time presence in the area with farm stands/stores and produce sales I'm strictly focusing on their 2013 creation with Hardball Cider. Let me just get the two really small negatives out of the way first. The first would be that there was no tour schedule or tour times. It was just Geoff by himself trying to do everything. It was a little disorganized at first but overall no biggie. The second is that the farm is of course not designed to handle the amount of cars that were on the property. The group we toured with while not large per se, was large enough that we had to move in and out of rooms inside the old barn production facility in two parts and parking was kind of make it up along the side of their entrance driveway. With that out of the way let me tell you what worked. Everything else. Geoff the owner did a fantastic job of explaining the process of how he and his family/friends/helpers actually make the cider while showing off the equipment and doing some great PR at the end with a tasting of hard or regular cider. Most noteworthy is that it takes five to seven apples to make one 12-ounce bottle of their hard cider and that all apples used in the cider process either come from their own farm or from well known long time established operations like Bechdolts in Hellertown or Scholl in Bethlehem. The quirk here that I love is not only is this brand about the cider but it's also baseball themed. As someone who loves baseball and cider for me this is the perfect gimmick/combination. Lots of fun product names like Fastball, Curveball, Teddy Ballgame and Slider. I of course had to add my two-sense and begged Geoff for a future cider variety to be called, after HOF pitching/cheater extraordinaire Gaylord Perry, The Spitter. I agreed that one would be a tough sell and we shared a laugh over it but hey, a guys got to try right? We bought a bottle of Shoeless Joe. SJ is a nice mature dry cider that is aged in wine barrels so the taste is reminiscent of cider yet with a very woody-oak-red wine twist. I will say that if your idea of cider is limited strictly to things from Redd's or Magners this stuff will really challenge or reeducate your palate. If you're looking to buy some Hardball the operation while still small can be found in a fair number of area places. They have weekly space at area Farmers Markets, a growing collection of area distributors and restaurants also carry their products but most notably they have a storefront on Main Street in Bethlehem and in several minor league parks in PA along with at CBP in Philadelphia all carry their stuff. This is really good cider and I wish Geoff well long term as he seemed totally into what he is making and selling and I can't wait to see what future varieties he comes up with.
