This weekend we rented a car and took the opportunity to visit some places a bit farther than around the corner. On Saturday we did the SBR sprint triathlon in Harriman State Park—and then went to the most amazing little farm for a surprisingly wonderful post-race meal. The Blooming Hill Farm is about an hour outside of NYC, and has a small cafe, bakery, and of course sells its produce. It's also a CSA. If we lived closer (or rather, if they were closer to us), we'd love to belong. The fairy lights in the old barn made the place even more special.
On Sunday we visited another farm—Stone Barns—with Beth and Rob Turner. I still cannot believe we had never been there before. For years I've heard how wonderful it is, and wow, it's great. We arrived smack in the middle of lamb season. There were tons of them frolicking about in the pasture, along with their moms (and perhaps pops, too). We tried not to think that they would be someone's meal one day soon—even as we plan our own trip back there for dinner.
