Join us on our Deep Run Roots Book Tour – scenes from the first week out on the road with our sweet food truck!
It's pear season here, but that doesn't mean sweet, juicy Southern versions of Boscs or an Anjous. Instead our pears, called Keifers, are hard as a rock, have a grainy jicama-like flesh, and are covered in an unpleasant, often bitter skin. Yum! No, they don't make great snacks, but they do make the most crisp, distinct fruit preserves I've ever had.
The second-to-last summer Ben and I lived in the river house, our neighbors Steve and Kelly Putnam started farming an unparalleled variety of beautiful fruits and vegetables right down the road from us.
