Oct 4 A Locally Grown Dessert Dream of Rhubarb Torte and Peach Pie

Carol Stender

Recipes, Products

Rhubarb Torte and Peach Cream Pie were the desserts Shawn and Dave Schneeberger brought to our Locally Grown Meal. True to our local meal challenge, the two sourced ingredients from the area including Millerville Co-Op Creamery Butter, Swany White Flour and eggs purchased from a six-year-old who is using the egg money to buy a splash pad. The desserts were flavorful and not too sweet or too tart. Just right.

Spareribs and roasted vegetables were featured in our Locally Grown Meal. The spareribs came from Haffner Family Farm. Every item served had a story of where it came from and who grew it. A great connection between the food we eat and local growers.

It was a first for Leon: pan fry cheese curds, but these curds were a great part of our appetizers. Made with fresh cheese curds from Redhead Creamery with bacon from Haffner Family Farm, it was great served with locally sourced salad and a cheese and meat board with cheeses from Redhead Creamery and Fruitful Seasons Dairy.

OUCH! A fall resulted in sprained fingers, an arthritis flare and bruised lip! The result was time away from the computer (I didn’t want to, but I couldn’t keyboard with the bum finger), but it couldn’t stop my sister and I from our weekly farmers market haul!
