News Round-up

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Here’s a quick selection of articles that have appeared recently. In case you missed the Barrington Natural Heritage & Agricultural Fair or the Fishtival in Portsmouth:

 

• “Big rains, big success for Barrington Natural Heritage and Agricultural Fair“, Foster’s Daily Democrat

 

• “Fishtival feeds, educates Ocean Fans in Portsmouth“, Foster’s Daily Democrat

 

 

From the “Saving the Farm” issue of NH Magazine:

 

• “Our Green Valley, Preserving the Farming Life on New Hampshire’s Fertile Edge” (by Barbara Stewart, formerly of McClary Hill Farm) and also “Seeking Local Seafood“, New Hampshire Magazine, September 2009

 

 

Sometimes eating locally means eating out, and supporting the restaurants that source from local farmers. The amount of cross-fertilization between the Portsmouth and Portland restaurant scene seemed to warrant including the last articles:

 

• “Slow Down and Stay for Dinner: Portsmouth, New Hampshire”, Gourmet, October 2009 (no link yet)

 

• “America’s Foodiest Small Town 2009: Portland, Maine“, Bon Appètit, October 2009

 

• “In Portland’s Restaurants, a Down East Banquet“, NY Times, September 15, 2009
