Letter From Prince Edward County

The Duke makes no pretension of being anything than two rooms and a patio by the side of the road in Waupoos, population 175. The taps have the Loyalist Lager, and the dark beer from the county’s Barley Days Brewery, and the third one is (of course) Waupoos Cider, from the County Cider Company, a few clicks east down the road. The menu is simple as can be, written out periodically on a piece of 8½ x 11 paper. There is no deep fryer, everything comes with a salad of just picked local greens (my guess is they come from Vicki’s Veggies, but only because the iconic organic farm was mentioned elsewhere on the menu, and they’re not too far away).

Wild Blueberries in Nova Scotia (Part 1)

Rideout and Vautour explained to us how famers ‘cultivate’ wild blueberries. Actually, the term they use is ‘manage’. Blueberries are a rhyzome: their root systems exist underground waiting for the right moment to push up and create a plant. They work a bit like wild mushrooms or truffles in the sense that you can’t actually plant them. They are either there or not. What I saw on Joe Slack’s fields, apart from stunning views of the Cobbequid Mountains and the mists coming off the Bay of Fundy, was a bear’s paradise: a great carpet of scrubby blueberry bushes, never climbing more than a foot off the ground.

Just Opened: Beast

The locavore menu, too, keeps things simple, and Scott lets the markets determine his weekly changing menu. “If I’d had to come up with a menu for opening day that I was going to have to follow for months, I would have panicked. Instead, I was able to look at what was available that week and I created it around that. Even so, we were doing prep right up until 6PM on opening day, and people were starting to come in to eat dinner!”

All The Best’s Harvest Plum And Apple Galette

An open-face rustic tart is the perfect way to enjoy the fruits of the harvest season. The crust is simply folded over the fruit around the edges, sprinkled with a little demerara sugar and baked. Try other combinations of fruits such as peach and blueberry or apple and blackberry. Serve warm with a topping of ice cream or crème fraîche

Slipping Seasons

It seems like ages ago since I chatted with Malcolm and Jamie of the GFR “swat” (summer weather about travel) team! It was their first visit to our little piece of heaven and it was…stinking hot! What a summer we have had! Sun, humidity and the best harvest of orchard fruit ever – full of summer sweetness.
