On Saturday, June 15, tires were screeching as cars whipped around the track at @limerockpark in Lakeville. Drivers were duking it out for the Sports Car Club of America’s New England Region Races in everything from modest-looking Mini Coopers to futuristic formula cars. No matter the vehicle, racers brought the action.

Paul Pearson, the head chef at the White Hart Inn shares some of his faves in Litchfield County.
1.What is your favorite produce source?
My go-to spot is the @sharonfarmmarket . They always have a great selection of fresh, seasonal produce, much of it from local farms. Their fish counter is always stocked with the freshest, best-looking fish. And there’s a great selection of prepared foods. They also have a sushi station, and that’s a quick, easy fix for my daughter’s dinner.
2. What’s your favorite bread source?
Every Friday and Saturday we get a delivery to Provisions at the White Hart from Travis Brecher from @creaturebread . My favorite is the caramelized onion with turmeric; it’s pretty special!
3. What’s your favorite tomato source?
The best tomatoes, I believe, are grown by Parker Boal, right here in Lakeville at Green Hollow Farm. I met Parker in 2014; we’ve used her tomatoes ever since. She’s so passionate about them, and it really shows in the flavor and quality. She picks them in the morning, and they’ll be on the plate a few hours later for dinner service.

So you’re having a few friends over for a cookout this coming weekend, but don’t have time to get to the butcher. What do you do? You call @boardmanbridgebutchers and, whether you are looking for T-bones or Tomahawks, they will deliver.
Recently opened on Kent Road in New Milford, across from Boardman Bridge, the shop was founded by two jovial veterans of the profession, Marc Rohlsberger and Donald “The Sausage King” Feiler.

Hidden away on a rural road in Goshen, @thorncrestfarm is a prime destination for chocolate lovers.
The Thorn family—Kimberly, Clint, and sons Garret and Lyndon—steward a meticulously maintained barn that provides a comfortable, relaxing environment (the secret to sweet milk) for their dairy herd. Open doors allow cross-breezes and encourage greetings from visitors.

One of the Top 100 Things to Do this summer in Litchfield Co. is to go to a South Farms Social. This past Thursday was the perfect example of why.
South Farms held the Summer Solstice Social, from 5-8pm featuring live Jazz music by Perfect Manhattan. Social goers spread out picnic blankets on the expansive farm lawn and walked the new Boardwalk over to Pasture, South Farm’s Food Park. As the sun dipped down and before the Strawberry Moon rose, the breeze cooled the gathered friends and families and folks relaxed to good food, drinks, and company. Food included @hindsightbbq , @milestonewoodfiredpizza , and #southfarmskitchen, featuring Chef @carlciarcia
Don’t miss the next Social. Thursday Nights all Summer. 5-8pm. Pasture Food Park open Thursdays- Sundays
