Buckwheat honey and u-pick applesPosted Oct 26th 2007 3:36PM by Marisa McClellanFiled under: Breakfast, FarmingLast fall I went apple picking with a friend at Linvilla Orchards, a u-pick farm in Media, PA that also offers hay rides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, strolling clowns and a cluster of year-round carnival-type food stands. In addition to the u-pick options, they also have a farm market in which they sell produce, jams, jellies, candies and other homey goods. Last year I picked up a small jar of Buckwheat Honey there. I didn't think much of it other than it was far darker than the other honey options and for some reason that appealed to me. When I got it home, I discovered that it had a deep flavor that was drastically different from your standard grocery store wildflower honey and I was totally hooked. I rationed that jar, making it last nearly nine months before I finally hit the bottom. On Tuesday Scott and I went out to Linvilla once again, in order to pick apples and film the beginning to the next episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen. After two hours on the farm, we had picked a full bushel of apples and I had dragged him through the market so that I could get another jar of the Buckwheat Honey. I bought a larger jar this year and have already greatly enjoyed it drizzled on top of a bowl of yogurt and homemade apple sauce.
