I discovered the farm show a few years after moving to eastern PA, and now I try to make it every year. My husband and I are headed there this Thursday – can’t wait! I take issue with anyone who would dare to laugh at sheep-to-shawl, the butter sculpture, or tractor square dancing. Those are probably my top three favorites at the farm show! Closely followed by hanging around for the end of the shoo-fly pie judging and getting to sample the entries…

The duckling webcam just made my day. I am going to put the “show” times on my calendar this week.

I went to the PA farm show for the first time yesterday, based on your posts from last year. What a treat. Then came home to watch Cranford on PBS. Both shows were reminders that simple farming societies may seem sweet and idyllic, but they’re more complex than that. Also a reminder about how important it is to understand and sometimes question “progress.” Agriculture is BIG business and ingrained ideas — organic/small growers really need support to succeed in that universe. Thanks for the intro to a great event. Next year I spend the whole day at the show, eating honey waffles and trying to absorb the slooower pace everyone moves at.
