I work not far from Verrill Farm, which is especially lucky in the spring because they grow their own asparagus.

Lorna has fond memories of the asparagus her father grew, and her mother getting it sun-warm from the field for a spring dinner.

Verrill farm is an excellent farm stand, with all the usual fare plus their own seasonal specialties and lots of other goodies. This morning I counted artisanal cheeses from 10 different makers in New England and New York; I grabbed a container of Hannahbells for myself!.
