You can still get fantastic eggs and meat from Polyface, Sunnyside Organics and Keswick— cheeses, local greenhouse-grown tomatoes, salad greens and herbs along with apples, pears, squashes, brussels sprouts and beets from...

My father-in-law talked about a plate of ‘Rooster fries’ he had in Florida once....He also more recently bought a ‘sack’ of them from Polyface Farms in VA, presumably cows. I par-boiled them, took the...

of the World report. It presents a lot of numbers – big numbers. While they don’t specifically state it that way, I’m not sure that all the Salatins and Polyfaces in the world will ultimately make a difference....

trips to wva have shown that it’s impossible to find, say, local sweet corn or anything else in august. i’ve never been to berkely springs aand have no idea what’s around that area. polyface farms might be a...

I believe that you can get duck eggs from Polyface Farms. They set up shop at both the Arlington Courthouse Farmer’s Market and Dupont Circle Farmer’s Market.

Give the farmers' markets a try. Both the Arlington market at the courthouse on Saturday 8-12 and the Dupont circle market on Sunday morning have vendors that sell meats from grass-fed animals and free-range chickens. Polyface is...

I think the very best hams available are from Polyface. They are cured with salt, sugar, and pepper. They are a bit saltier than the Honeybaked-type, but I don’t find them as salty as the classic Virginia ham. To me, the...
