Farm Market II (10/25/2023)

Today we went (on the recommendation of our homeowners) to a second farm market. It is called Burwash Manor and is near the community of Barton. We biked the short 4-mile route out into the country, and the trail was 95% off-road.

Burwash Manor had a great mix of shops including a grocery with bakery items and prepared foods, wine shop, cafe/tearoom, flower shop, rug shop, gift shop, and a couple others. And oh, on Tuesdays a mobile fish monger sells out of his van. We did some damage in the grocery and will likely return for a picnic lunch and gift shopping, as Beth found some items of interest.

After a few days of intermittent and sometimes heavy rain, the weather was fine — high 50s. We have definitely had a great fall here.

The route started through Sheep’s Green near our house,
and the cows were also enjoying the trail.

We passed a nice looking pub.

They had good bike parking. We saw two other cyclists at the farm shop.

The cows were ruling the trail on the ride back to the house as well.

We haven’t gone out for dinner since we’ve been here since we’ve had good grocery shops and great cooking situation at the house — space to work, great oven and stovetop, etc. But we have decided to treat ourselves tonight and are going to a restaurant called Brown’s, which is on the way into town headed towards King’s College or Great St. Mary’s Church.

The Hotel du Vin, very close to Brown’s
where we may head for a pre-dinner cocktail.
