Eat Drink Stink at the Easton Garlic Festival

The day was cool and dreary.  The sky was a mask of grey clouds covering random spots of blue.   The sun rarely made it out.  Instead there were occasional sprinkles.  It did not keep us from riding the BMW K1600 to the Easton Garlic Fest, so we could eat drink and stink.  It was pretty much a straight shot up river. We had our Breakfast at the Point Pleasant Village Store and it was fine as any other we have had on our day trips.  Its a go to the counter kind a spot and help your self to coffee, and juice from a cooler.   Betty Boop was there and I love Betty. The Festival was scheduled to start at noon just a few minutes after our arrival.  Good for us because there were not that many people there and there were all kinds of tastings waiting for us. I cant imagine what I would have purchased if I was hungry.  As it was, I couldn't resist a package soup: Garlic Corn Chowder, a herb mix: Gobs of Garlic, and a small can of sea salt and garlic.  I love Garlic  We took some time to check out the town of Easton.  I found it to be  very quaint.

Fresh Garlic from China

I love shopping locally. It gives me great pleasure to support the local farms. I am particularly happy to be a member of the Honey Brook Organic Farm in Pennington. Unfortunately, the farm is not open during the winter months. So on occasion I head out to one of the many local farms and this time went to Shady Brook Farm in Yardley. I didn't notice until I got home that they must import their garlic from China...Now how fresh can it be when it is coming all the way from China. Don't they grow that stuff in Gilroy, California... I know it is across the country, but at least it is not half way around the world.
