Join us in this age-old tradition on Sunday June 22nd

In years gone by, rural communities would gather to celebrate the changing seasons. Often these gatherings would be hosted in community churches and halls - growing up I was lucky enough to be privy to many of these special celebrations.

One of my fondest memories was of our Annual Strawberry Supper, which would be hosted at our Little Board & Batten Church in the Hamlet of Eddystone.

The Church Ladies (A.K.A Grandmothers, Aunts, Moms, Sisters and Children) would prepare a wonderful Meal right around the time of the Summer Solstice, when Berry picking was at its best. Our job as kids was picking, hauling and of course tasting the plump red berries, running around barefoot in the fields with stained hands and mouths... carefree and wild ... just the way it should be.
