It’s a good Friday indeed. The Easter traditions of promise and renewal abound here at the store. The storm and the generator failure earlier this week fried our oven and melted all of our ice cream. BUT, like the lemony color of daffodils blooming underneath the snow, we made lemonade! This was an opportunity toContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 24”

It’s throw-down week! It started with great customer Alex telling David, “You know Dave, I think your pizzas are giving Jane’s scones a run for the money” [and that’s sayin’ somethin’ cuz he is a HUGE fan of our bakery cases]. “Take that!” said Dave to Jane. “Game on!” said Jane to Dave. SoContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 21”

March is maple month and we are feeling sticky just thinking about it. Old-Man-of-the-Mountain slurps of fresh syrup and bourbon, caramely oozy maple pie and the smell in the air of maple steam coming from Canterbury’s sugar houses. The sap has been running in vast amounts this week we hear so it should be aContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 20”

Spring is coming we swear. Can you feel it? The longer days and slowly setting sun…even though we still get snow, it melts. When I am baking early in the morning I am actually seeing the sunrise through the trees now, streaking in light all over my floury surfaces. It has been still dark whenContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 19”

February in New England?? Our bones are happy for this run-on-the-sun and the early sometimes “balmy” weather here, but it sure does make us wonder about how the flora and fauna that depend on consistency will fare. But it might bring an early run on Maple sap for sugaring season next month. Fingers crossed forContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 18”

February is LOVE month but it doesn’t have to be a celebration of romantic human love [cue the violins]. Here at the Canterbury Country Store we are celebrating our love of food all month. That ‘other’ kind of love could (and sometimes does) get pretty disappointing but a steaming bowl of homemade goodness or anContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL: 16”

It’s been a busy week at the store; January – the “slow month” – has still kept us hopping. Happy to report that. We had a swarm of hungry visitors on voting day followed by a snow day so we could cook a lot and refill the cases. All the while our newest staff members,Continue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL.15”
