Thanksgiving...It's a time to give thanks and to celebrate the harvest of the season. This year we decided to celebrate with an "Eat Local" Thanksgiving. We picked local farmers and asked them to bring us what they're growing right now. We'll serve a Roast Heritage Turkey and Gravy from Day Spring Turkey Farm and Oyster dressing with oysters from the Chesapeake. A delicious pumpkin soup with pumpkins from Wegmeyer Farms, Southern Greens and Roasted Cauliflower from our friends at Clagett Farm, and for dessert, Roasted Pears from Toigo Orchards. And because these foods are local, you reduce the miles between your plate and the farm, reducing our carbon footprint.
