Blue Heron, Sunderland, MA

I'm not a big bumper sticker guy, but one of my favorites (besides the ever-present "Impeach Bush") is the simple "No Farms. No Food."
Tonight, as an example of life slowly returning to normal, we arrive at Blue Heron in Sunderland, where the first star of the night was earned by the "From Farm to Table" section of the attractive menu, which lists the local farms that provide the ingredients for tonight's fare.

Derek and Maribeth Ritchie's Sangha Farms from Ashfield is on the list. We have a farm share from Sangha, and the goat cheese is outstanding, too.

So, we are off to a good start. Photos of my forthcoming sidecar soon...

Details to come. Leaning toward the seafood risotto, the iron steak gorgonzola or the filet mignon...
