We had the most delicious local and organic food this weekend! I just had to take pictures and share 🙂

On Saturday, all of our meals (with the exception of snacks) were provided by Jennifer Bright, the owner of the the Tabor House Inn where we stayed. I was VERY impressed!

025

For breakfast, we started with these to DIE for scones. They were so good I asked Jennifer for the recipe! I created a new recipe page just for them: Cranberry Yogurt Scones. Yummm! And yes, they were made with Stonyfield yogurt! 🙂

028

It’s a good thing Tina and I ran 4 miles Saturday morning to work up an appetite, because after the scones, we were served amazing bacon and an egg omelet stuffed with local prize-winning goat cheese!

032033

Our mid-morning snack was at one of the organic farms! We were excited to receive a glass of delicious, cold, fresh milk — straight from the source! Yum.

067

The farmer’s wife also made us whole wheat blueberry muffins, which were AMAZING and made with yogurt! 🙂

064

For lunch, Jennifer brought a meal over to us at the second organic farm. We shared it with the family, so it was great to get to know them in their own home!

We had chicken salad sandwiches on delicious homemade whole wheat bread (made by the wife of the farmer who let us milk his cows!):

076

Shrimp, cucumber, and goat cheese orzo salad:

078

And potato salad. Mmm! Love the pretty garnish 🙂

077

Dinner was awesome — we invited three of the farmers and their families over to the inn for another delicious meal! It was great to get to know them better over dinner.

We began our evening with wine and some appetizers while mingling. We were served spinach and cheese stuffed mushrooms:

These were awesome! Let me know if you guys are interested in the recipe for these as well! 🙂

113

And bruschetta. LOVE!

111

For dinner, we started with a watermelon (!) and tomato lobster soup, served chilled:

120

YUM! I loved this soup — so unique!

And our main course was beef and veggie skewers, served with a cucumber yogurt sauce and Israeli couscous.

121

On Sunday morning, after our cow milking adventure (before which I had a snack of some yogurt!), Jennifer served us this beautiful and delicious strawberry stuffed french toast!

081

Wow. What a treat! 🙂

Lunch on Sunday was eaten at our final organic dairy farm visit in New Hampshire! We had quite the view 🙂

011

We were served pasta and veggie salad:

006

Fresh fruit: 

007

And veggie wraps:

010

Delish 🙂

I hope you enjoyed the foodie tour of the weekend! I’ll leave you with this:

Hehe. I looooove ice cream.

    Hi Anne, I read often but rarely comment. Great photos! It's fun seeing something completely different. The food looks fantastic - fresh and simple. Aren't farmers the nicest people? Did you happen to get the recipe for the blueberry muffins? They look delicious.
