Fall Foliage…A view from Bohringer’s Fruit Farm
October is telling me that it’s time to dust off the soup pot and get back to cooking up some comfort foods! In our home and at the Meat Market, September feels like the beginning of a new year. With the kids back to school and the change in the weather, I always feel like cleaning out, changing things up and working on a new plan~
Looking back on what a beautiful summer we enjoyed always gives me inspiration to move forward…so take a look below at the photo gallery from #thebutcherslife. We truly enjoyed each and every day…I think that’s why this summer in particular went by so quick!
Unplugging and detaching from the “real” world…The boys and The Butcher and I enjoyed several getaways Upstate NY…this was a beautiful day on the pond with fun Kayaks!
The view at the beginning of the summer …Top of Vromans Nose~ Schoharie Valley
A visit from the Potter …Terrice Bassler….who has been creating gorgeous handcrafted pottery for us in her Upstate Studio…run completely on Solar Power.
D’Artagnan Chef Kevin O’Donnell joined us for a specialty food tasting in June…We thank all of our loyal customers for your support!
Many of the product that we sell at the Meat Market are inspired by our time spent Upstate NY in the Catskill Mountains. The clean air and quietude seem to slow down time and make each day feel like two! Check out some of the pics below~

- LJ loves the beach….this was early one morning….
