Food Focus Days:

The earliest settlers survived because of the indigenous foods they learned about from the local indians. In due course, they introduced new species brought from the old world as their farms and gardens developed. The Food Focus Days have provided information about nine varieties of foods found locally.

This year we will focus on Apples and Pumpkins with an event on October 30.

Food Focus Days are held at the tollkeeper's cottage from 11am to 5pm. Visitors receive a free brochure, and may purchase the foods featured that day plus historic recipes using that food. This is the fifth year this programme has been offered, so recipes from past years are also available, as are recipes from the annual spring Food Focus on Maple Syrup. (there are also a few bottles remaining from this year's offering of first-run maple syrup for sale.)
