Sad to say that Old Man Sterling (in his late nineties last I heard) decided to close his small…read morefresh veggie shed some years ago to protest the need for a permit from the town to operate his little piece of free market enterprise on his farm, one of the last working farmsteads in Newtown, PA. In its prime, Sterling Farm had the sweetest Silver & Gold Corn around. Close enough to walk there from home, we would get there in late morning just after he had harvested the crop that morning. $5 a dozen ears of the crispest, sweetest niblets I ever tasted. 8 minutes in boiling water for a delicious eye rolling delicacy that one was never enough of. Never needed melted butter or salt shaker. If fact, didn't really need boiling, as it was perfect right after stripping off the protective husk. One of those things that represented the best Bucks County had to offer, and right over the ridge from home. The farm is still there. Wish that little market was, too.

This is just a very neat place to stop, take some pictures, do some chicken-watching and buy some…read morefreshly laid eggs. For the fall, the market was so well decorated with colorful squash and pumpkins beautifully laid out. They also have a large fenced in are for chickens. We watched the head rooster chase around the others in the pen. Inside the small farm store, they had seasonal local vegetables and eggs. The eggs were dated to indicate that they were laid that day, and they are $5.50 a dozen or $10.50 for two dozen. Can't get any fresher than that! Their website indicated that they sell chicken twice a year, although there was no indication inside the store regarding that. Most items are marked, but there were several variety of tomatoes that were not specifically priced. I wanted some tomatoes but I didn't get any because I didn't know the price. It is a self service honor system, with a cash box. Make a stop here if you are in the area!

This year, I ordered my Thanksgiving Turkey from them. The turkey was not cheap, and sure I could have bought a 99c/pound turkey at Costco, but what's in that turkey? I really wanted to serve something I knew would not be full of hormones. Let me tell you, 20 people at my table agreed without a doubt that it was the best tasting turkey they have ever had. Even the shape of the turkey was different. It walked around happily all summer long. There was no oversized breast weighting it down. Lots of tasty dark meat. The turkey was butchered and cleaned very nicely I would say. The ease of ordering and pick up was unparalleled. I chatted with the owner, who is very sweat and cares so much about what she puts out on the farm. Thank you Milk House Farm! Your first year raising turkeys was a huge success!!

She been…read moreloving the decorations and Christmas lights she saw in our neighborhood or when driving around, so I thought this would a great family outing to close our the holiday season. If heard of Shady Brooks light show and has never been myself - neither had my boyfriend - so it was the first time for all of us. We paid in advance online and there was luckily a discount so we only paid $25 per car instead of the original listed price of $45 per vehicle. It's was about a 40 minute drive for us coming from the city and we luckily didn't have any traffic on our way there or back. When turning into their site, they had signs to direct you to the lanes/area to drive through the light show. Once we got to that area, we drove up to the booth so they can scan our ticket, handed us a newspaper/booklet to go with it, and we were on our way! The light displays, concepts and sections (e.g. "12 Days of Christmas" with 12 displays of drummers drumming) were very well done. Our little one loveeeeedd it - except for the Grinch of course because, he's the Grinch lol. It wasn't a short drive through but not too long either. Once we finished the light show, we did park and got out to take a quick look at what else was going on and get a lay of the land. Would definitely recommend checking this out for the holidays and we would come back to check out the playground for her, wagon rides, etc.
