Such a treat. I love coming to Larriland each year to grab fresh fruit. I typically come for…read morepeaches but was so upset when I planned to go and decided to check online and the season had ended. It was just open on Monday and then closed by Friday. I was so sad. I still decided to go and buy some from the farm stand and to see if they at least still had some of my favorite products. They did I was happy to grab some up. They have Taharka Bros ice cream and some flavors I had never tried before so I grabbed a couple, don't judge. Not stating if they made it home or not but why would anyone let perfectly good ice cream go to waste on a hot ride home. Come on now, make it make sense lol. If I'm back in the area during harvest time, I'll definitely go back to grab up some fresh produce.

I went to Larriland Farm with a few friends this past Saturday afternoon for blackberry and peach…read morepicking, which are two of my favorite fruits. I've also never picked either fruit before, so I was very excited. The farm is huge, with many different sites. We stopped by the farm market first to look at various produce. There were so many fresh fruits and vegetables (if you are lazy and don't want to pick any, you can buy it here). We were very enticed by the strawberry milk (which sadly, I didn't end up buying). I did buy a bag of dry ingredients to make corn chowder for 14.99, which I enjoyed four meals of! First, we went to pick blackberries. I got one of the cartons for 9.99 (there's also a smaller one for 6.99) because I got greedy and wanted lots of blackberries. Unfortunately, it took me at least an hour to fill up my carton with the blackberries that looked ripe since most of the ones we saw looked more like raspberries (bright red, incredibly tart, and most definitely not ready to be picked). Very occasionally, I'd find a really fat and juicy blackberry, which immediately got plucked off the tree and straight into my carton. I tried some of them after picking and a lot of them were pretty sour even though they were ripe. I was quite sad that I labored in vain. Overall, it was a very hot day and with the scarce amount of ripe blackberries, I should have just bought them at the farm market. Finally, one of my friends and I went to pick peaches while the rest of them went to stare at sunflowers. We were done in less than 15 minutes since we picked ~30 for the 19.99 box (the cheapest option). The peaches were great, 2-3 days after picking. I've been enjoying them with other friends so far. If there's anything I'd recommend picking from Larriland, it's the peaches. Fun time at the farm, the prices are a bit steep for picking, and I'm still kind of sad about the lack of sweet blackberries.

We will definitely be coming here again! Most of the items *we think* are locally-grown, but cannot absolutely verify this. Considering the pandemic and the physical distancing we all have to abide by, everyone was doing a really nice job, both sellers and customers. Definitely worth 5 stars!!

This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

In the most visually-exciting sequence of Director/Writer Jalmari Helander's 2025 film Sisu: Road…read moreto Revenge, three Soviet Ilyushin II-2 Shturmovik ground-attack planes attempt to bring down the KraZ-214 armored, military-transport truck driven by the hero who single-handedly turned the tide for the Finns in the earlier film and in the sequel, set in 1946. Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.

My dog is enjoying his beef stick. He doesn't have very many teeth so I need to cut it up for him but all the same I will be back to buy another one on my next visit.

I literally went from table to table and purchased. From the cookies, to the flowers, the puffin jars, the handmade jewelry, the salmon candy, the crystals, the freeze dried candy, pastries, the coffee, donuts, the veggies, the microgreens, & the breakfast stand with the fresh juice. It's not too busy and there's plenty of parking. All they need is a grill stand, bakery items, some tables/chairs, tshirts, face painting, music, a bounce house and it would be a party. I will add this to my Saturday routine.

I first met Dominique Tolbert, the head of TLBRT Hospitality, at a networking event a few months…read moreago. She shared with me her passion for cooking, culture, and hosting. Fast forward some weeks and I had the pleasure of enjoying a private catered event that she hosted, and it was awesome! Here are a few highlights: -Coffee rubbed lamb chops: Have you ever had a dish that catches you by surprise and makes you want to ravenously jump in for more, only for you to then remember that you should keep your couth about you and slowly enjoy the dish? Well, that's how I felt about these lamb chops. -Peanut pepper beef: I've had beef with peanut sauce, and I've had pepper beef, but I'm quite certain I had never tried this particular combination. The beef was tender and just slightly spicy and balanced well with the more muted peanut sauce. Which, by the way, wasn't that "Oh, this is like a jar of peanuts mashed up" type of peanut sauce. It was smooth, creamy, and not overpowering. Mmm good! -Yucca con mojo: I was thrilled that the yucca was neither the really soft nor the extremely hardy yucca that you find sometimes. Instead, it had a great flaky inside with an exterior that gave just the right amount of crunch. -Coconut panna cotta with spiced mango: First things first, I am reeeeallly not a coconut fan. That's why I was so impressed that this panna cotta didn't have a strong taste of coconut and that it played so nicely with the spiced mango. I had two *cough maybe three cough* of these and could have easily eaten another. -Rum cake: At the risk of being loquacious, I'll just say the rum cake was the bomb! In addition to preparing excellent dishes that suit every palate while paying homage to diverse Afro-Caribbean and Latin influences, Dominque truly makes you feel like a valued guest at her events. From the moment I walked in the door, she greeted me with a smile, and she guided us through the evening with professionalism and class. Toward the end of the evening, I had the chance to see photos from events that she's hosted in LA, New York, and (if I remember correctly) Ghana! Before I forget, definitely get some of her Better Than Old Bay seasoning. I was hesitant at first because I associate Old Bay with seafood, which I'm allergic to, but it works great on poultry and sweet potato fries (why yes, I did make chicken and sweet potato fries last night). You should definitely have Dominique cater your next event!
