Blueberry picking - July 13th.

Now that summer has arrived, with its promise of bountiful produce, it's time for another Slow Food event! For those interested in joining us, we'll be picking, eating, and learning about blueberries at Bill Vint's blueberry patch in Snyder County. Tentatively scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, July 13th, it's a chance to learn a bit about blueberries here in our region, as well as an opportunity for those who'd like to bring home their own for cobblers, pancakes, jams, or what have you.

If you're interested in joining the group, please contact Brian Garthwaite (garthwaite [dot] brian [at] gmail [dot] com). If you have extra seats available for the ride - or are looking for some - we're happy to help connect those interested in carpooling. More details, including directions, will follow for those who'd like to be part of this event!

Also, if you happen to have a favorite blueberry recipe you'd like to share with the group, we'll post those here on the website. Look for Brian's spiced blueberry-peach jam, as well as any others the Slow Food folks may have. We hope to see you all there!
