Rhubarb Martini! |
I started with a Rhubarb Martini! It was so amazing that I thought I'd be doing myself (and the farmers at Verrill Farm and the insane mixologist who invented this cocktail) a disservice if I didn't have another...
We mingled with local foodies and met some new neighbors! Then we sat down to dinner, which started with Honey Wheat bread in personal terra cotta pots! The wheat flour
was from Four Star Farms and the honey was from Carlisle Honey.

Fiddleheads or Clam Civeche? I couldn't decide! |
Spring Garlic Soup with Goat Cheese Crema |
The Main Course was grilled Fennel and Zucchini with shaved Asparagus and Pea Greens over Polenta. The fennel was from Grateful Farm. The zucchini was from Kimball Farm. The asparagus was from Verrill Farm. The pea greens were from Eva's Garden, and the corn meal was from Four Star Farm.

Dessert was to die for. The Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp with Maple Sugar Topping and Sour Cream Ice Cream was unlike anything I've ever eaten.
