Sergi Farms

It seems crazy but less than a mile from our house is an actual farm, Sergi Farms. We usually go for the corn at the end of the summer or to cut flowers. We made our first trip of the season last week and picked up some Italian zucchini ('very sweet', they said) and fresh green beans, then traipsed through the fields and cut dahlias and zinnias.

Javaberry

Given that the closest pinkberry is over 200 miles away in New York, our favorite ice cream this summer has been Celebrity Pizza's javaberry soft serve that comes highly recommended on chowhound. Yesterday we checked out the sculptures in the "Nature in Balance" exhibit at the Arsenal so we could at least have a nod to having done something cultural for the day.
