The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:
Long-time Matt’s Meals fans and local music fans will remember my singing the praises of the sorely-missed Green River Festival at which I discovered such favorites as Maple Mama and Bart’s Ice Cream. More recently, I spoke about the MassGrown project that the MA Department of Agricultural Resources recently launched (https://massnrc.org/farmexchange/) to help local producers and consumers network and support each other.
Well, as often happens, some of my subjects have apparently found each other.
Kris Nartowicz of Burnt Hill Blueberry Farm in Heath, MA, is supplying their amazing berries to Bart’s for their appropriately-named Local Blueberry Ice Cream. As Bart’s fans know, they use lots of locally-sourced treats to make flavors that may be especially pleasurable to locals but that stand up to any ice creams around. From their Mass Mocha (with an “h”) and a pair of MA-fed maple flavors (featuringColrain’s Ryan Brothers)to their just as neighborly Local Peach (with peaches from Apex Orchard in Shelburne Falls) and Strawberries from Here (with strawberries from Warner Farm in Sunderland, MA), they pack tons of tasty treats into their high butterfat ice creams and fill whatever space is left with locally-sourced love.
So if you want to try more than one local fave at a time (and support multiple Matt’s Meals mention-ees at a time), grab a pint of Bart’s and let your neighbors make you smile!
