With Deepest Thanks

Today our family enjoyed a blessed time of sharing, visiting with friends and partaking of a bountiful feast. We have so many things to be thankful for that we could hardly enumerate them all here. But I will take a few moments to give thanks and credit to the local Maine farmers who made this fabulous feast possible. 

Thanks to Spruce Creek Farm for the juicy delicious bird


In keeping with our desire to live and eat locally, our Thanksgiving feast was supplied by our local farmers and grocers. Here is a roll call of the great folks who helped to make this wonderful meal possible.  Thanks to Gaia for the brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes from our own garden, to Chase's Farm for the creamy mashed potatoes, to Wolf Pine Farm for even more sweet potatoes, and onions and squash, to Nature's Way Market for the little extra's that wrap up the feast including the cranberries from Ricker Hill Orchards

And for desert: Apple, Mince and Pumpkin pies. With thanks to Misty Brook Farm for the flour that made our delightful pie crusts, to Chase Farm for the pumpkin and to the Guptill family of Hackmatack Playhouse for the apples. After dessert everyone took a break from eating to visit friends, play some games and then it was back for a second helping.  As we wind down our day we just want to say Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
