Connie Moss, wonderful local whom I’d met last Friday while walking into Blackstone, invited me to dinner tonight with her friends Dan & Callie, who live on an organic farm in Amelia County, my next stop en route to the commonwealth capital of Richmond. How could I refuse such a kind and right-up-my-organic-alley offer..?
Upon their many acres, Dan & Callie– a wonderfully kind couple– grow a great deal of their own food, much of which we ate tonight (oh-so delicious!!). Dan & Callie invited me to spend a couple of nights at their place upon reaching them on foot this Friday– a wonderful offer that I was more than happy to accept. My brother Matt’s 40th birthday is this Saturday, and they’ve invited him to come and spend the night out at the farm as well!
I look forward to writing more about them upon reaching Amelia County!

You can definitely get food that looks like this in a variety of other places. However, upon taking the first bite, I felt this jolt of energetic goodness from organic food which had just been freshly pulled from the ground, prepared and plated.

Callie slices off a head of lettuce for me to return to the Bradshaws, my hosts (whom she also knows).

Having shown us the farm and eaten a deliciously healthy meal, Connie & Dan wrap up a pleasant evening’s conversation before returning to Blackstone.
