Starting August 9, 2017

Warren County Wanderings

Peaches are just one example of the many varieties of fruits and vegetables available in abundance right now - as you can see in the photo above courtesy of Best's Fruit Farm - so take advantage and stock up! The weekend weather forecast looks great for doing some wandering (not too hot, not too cool) so let's get out there!

Welcome to all our new Wanderers who signed up at the Explore Warren table at the Warren County Farmers' Fair last week, and congratulations to all prize winners! (Some have yet to be claimed, by the way, so it's possible we'll be drawing additional names. We don't want to raise false hope, but you never know.)

So read on and make plans - and don't run out of steam before you get down to the "Community Corner" and "Continuing" sections. There's good stuff in there, too! Happy Wanderings!
