Cranberry harvest 2012, eastern Massachusetts

Last weekend, we trekked up to Jean's family cranberry bogs in eastern Massachusetts to harvest the cranberries for our original blend granola.  The Gilmores so graciously spent the afternoon with us, teaching us about the harvest and the ins and outs of their process of growing the crop throughout the year. Their bogs were stunningly beautiful and it was a perfect day for a road trip.  We can't wait to dry this year's harvest for you all to enjoy.

Brooklyn Flea, September 15th, 2012

Beautiful day, beautiful people!

Rainy days

The Flea in the rain is... awesome!
Thanks to all of you sweet, brave souls for coming to see us despite the despicable weather.  We had a blast seeing all of you and your babies and puppies and smiling faces.

The Red Hook food vendors were ready for a veritable hurricane...

...and we certainly were not.

But Kate saved our tent...

...and we swore to check the weather forecast next time.

Soon enough, the sun reared it's head.

And we had some super fun visitors...

...fury friends...

...old friends...

...and the cutest Park Slope family.

Oh my goodness.  You guys!  So many wonderful people came by to say hello yesterday, which just might be the very best part of our afternoons at the Flea.   We can't thank you all enough for your sweet support.

And because we're having such a great time selling granola to you, we will definitely be back in Fort Greene in September.  Stay tuned for some exact dates.

And here is our photo montage tribute to some of our favorite people. Ever.

Brooklyn Flea- day one!

Despite the New York City unforgiving, relentless, gruesome summer heat... our first day at the Brooklyn Flea in Ft. Greene was an awesome whirlwind.  Gigantic hugs to all of our friends that were able to make it out yesterday.  If you missed us yesterday, we will be there next Saturday, August 11th from 10am- 5pm as well.

This batch of Kate's original recipe includes cranberries grown on bogs owned and operated by Jean's cousins in Massachusetts.  The Gilmore's have been in the cranberry business in southeastern Massachusetts for four generations- since the 1930's. 

We brought along a new batch of our summer blend yesterday full of dried mangos and pineapples and you guys seemed to love it! 

Spoons, bowls, plates... perfect vessels for granola eating. 

 Our table was sandwiched between McClures Pickles and Rucola- a sweet restaurant in Boerum Hill, a few blocks from where our granola is baked and our pottery is fired.  Their rosemary lemonade is perfect.

Our super supportive friend John.  Accountant extraordinaire and all around amazing guy! 

 Wheelthrown and handbuilt bowls...

...and some handbuilt plates.

 Spoons- maybe a little large for granola, but great 

for serving basically anything.

Braving the heat like champs. 

Matt- we love you. 

We met so many wonderful people yesterday- a really perfect Saturday. Thank you for your support!  See you guys next weekend.
