Well, wow - did we pick the right place to be to wrap up the OLS challenge! We may live in the Garden State, but up here in Vacationland local eating (at least at this time of year) is staggeringly easy. Where to start? Well, breakfast usually involves sweet, sweet raw milk (in glass bottles no less!) from Harmony Mill Farm in our locally made granola, heavy cream from Harmony Mill in my (um, really non-local) coffee, locally made bread and jam and wild Maine blueberries — we’re lucky enough to have caught the tail-end of blueberry season.

At lunch we’re typically out and about. Today we were in Ellsworth and stopped in for a fabulous lunch at Cleonice. Homemade pink lemonade for the girls, sangria for us. BLTs made of homemade foccacia, locally smoked bacon and Four Season Farm tomatoes. For dessert, homemade ice cream. I expect we’ll be heading back to Cleonice a few more times this week…

Dinner is usually a simple affair back at the farmhouse. Tomatoes and peaches that we brought up with us from Honey Brook, more of that local bread we picked up at John Edwards market in Ellsworth, and amazingly good Seal Cove Farm goat cheese made less that two miles from the farmhouse. Oh, and lots of locally made beer :).

Still to come - more of the delicious same. And, of course, one big fat Maine lobsterfest. We are a very happy locavores this week!
