Food Lover's Guide to Homestead Fair

EAT FOOD!

Burgers, Texas BBQ, Mediterranean cuisine, tamales and gorditas, brick-oven pizza, homemade pasta, soup, popcorn, award winning cheese, desserts, ice cream, specialty coffee drinks...  Also free samples!

I tasted:

Soft taco - pretty good but not amazing. Except for the salsa: delish.

Homemade eggnog latte - sweet for me, but tasty.

Green chili mac & cheese - excellent & unique flavor, but expensive and rather cold since it was pre-prepared.

Mediterranean chicken sandwich with roasted red papers & feta - tasty but a bit greasy.

Horseraddish pecan cheddar - yum.

Schwarma with lamb & chicken - awesome awesome awesome.

BUY FOOD

Homemade jams, local honey (I recommend the lemon honey), baking mixes from the gristmill, including gluten-free options. They have the best grits around!

LEARN ABOUT FOOD

I highly recommend the cheese making demonstration! The bread making seminar has interesting info, but presentation was rather dry.

For food growers: there are heirloom seeds for a sale, and a seminar about why preserving them is important. Get info about aquaponics & sustainable agriculture.

There are also booths and demonstrations on pasta making, beekeeping, food preservation, and distilling essential oils.
