The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:
Since talking about the Mass Grown program from the MA Department of Agricultural Resources (information about which can be found at https://massnrc.org/farmexchange/), I have been fortunate enough to be contacted by many of the farmers and providers who make our Commonwealth’s common wealth so impressive. In the process, I have also been directed to another system that supports and connects food makers called Mable that works with independent grocers and emerging brands to help both grow and prosper, even in challenging times.
Among the many Mable makers I have met are Theresa Adams from Adams Apple Co. and the team at Old Friends Farm, both of whom make some of the best jellies, syrups, and spreads I have ever had!
Among my faves from Old Friends Farm are their superfood-packed elderberry turmeric honey and their award-winning ginger syrup (which goes great in and on everything from pancakes to ice cream to tea). As they grow their own ginger and turmeric, it is the freshest and most potent it can be (not to mention the most delicious!) Speaking of tea, they also offer an impressive assortment of those too, as well as spices, rubs, and even body oils.
As the name implies, Adams Apple Co. keeps its recipe list a bit more limited, but there is apparently a lot you can do with an apple! From apple-forward pancake mix, slaw and salad dressing, a BBQ-ready bourbon bath, and a southern treat called chow chow that makes this Yankee wanna’ whistle “Dixie” to a set of apple butters that are great on toast and even better straight from the jar, Theresa clearly knows many ways to get to the coreof anyone’s appetite and has been doing it for over 20 years!
So whether you want to find new favorite foods or want to support a favorite food maker, get to know Mable and her foodie friends like the Old Friends and Theresa. Your stomach and the economy will be glad you did!
