October 2009: Forgotten & Unique Fruits

• Quince and Apple Company - Heirloom Fruits
• Carandale Farm - Aronia, Sea Berry and other Less Familiar (but still fantastic) Fruits

Join Us for the first FERMENT meeting of the season. We will taste a selection of artisan fruit preserves by Matt and Clare from Quince and Apple Company. Their company has a deliberate commitment to working directly with small farmers who grow heirloom and high quality fruits. Matt and Clare transform Midwest fruits into high quality, small batch preserves.
 
Come try their special varieties and see how they pair with local artisan cheeses and Potter's crackers. Some of their farmer-partners will also attend this social hour and bring their fresh fruits to sample as well, so you can really explore the different between a Black Twig and a Macoun.

Cindy and Dale Secher of Carandale Farm will also be in attendance to discuss their unique fruits - and how to grow, process, and use them. They will also have samples - Aronia and Sea Berry!
