What a day! My brain is totally spinning, but in a very good way! :mrgreen:

In the past 48 hours, I’ve learned soooo much about organics, dairy farms, and farmers. I cannot wait to share it with all of you! It’ll likely take me a few days to recap everything, so please bear with me. If you have questions along the way, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do my best to get them all answered! 😀

I’m absolutely exhausted from a full day on the farm, so here’s just a quick recap of my eats for the day.

After breakfast, we drove from northern Vermont to southern New Hampshire, so, of course, it made perfect sense to stop at Ben & Jerry’s in Waterbury, VT. I mean, it was on the way! 😉

I ended up ordering a kid’s size Half Baked. Yuuum! I love ice cream! 😀

We enjoyed lunch at one of the farmers’ homes, so there will be a recap of that later this week.

On the drive to the organic vegetable farm, I did some serious damage to a box of Annie’s Bunny Grahams. Seriously, someone should have taken these away from me! 😯

Dinner was at Republic in Manchester, New Hampshire. Republic uses local, sustainable, and organic products whenever possible, and their motto is “Keep it local. No farms, no food.” Pretty cool, right?

A chalkboard in the front of the restaurant lists all the local places where they get their food.

After a long day, I was more than ready for a glass of wine. Republic offers a great $2 per glass deal before 9:00 PM everyday. (I wish we had deals like this in Boston! ;-))

To start, the table enjoyed some fresh baked bread with a sesame-olive oil dipping sauce. I ate 2 or 3 pieces with the oil.

The table also shared the Mediterranean Sampler, which was one of the daily specials.

It included an eggplant chickpea spread, roasted red peppers, quiona salad, lentil salad, and fresh arugula. I made myself a plate and dug right in.

For my entree, I ordered the Roasted Beet Salad, which came with roasted beets (duh!), orange slices, hazelnuts, goat cheese, and mint. (The goat cheese was a special request by me.)

For dessert, the group shared an order of Greek Donuts, which were deep fried dough balls dipped in honey and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Mmm! These donuts practically melted in my mouth.

Barnstorming bloggers: Kristina, Valerie, Anne, and me! 😀

My bed is calling my name!

Goooooood night!
