Too damn hot today (which, as an aside, seems to happen every year -- we get weeks of what seems like semi-spring where it'll still be getting down to near 40 overnight and then suddenly it's boom up in the 90s) but it was still a good day. Hit the farmers market in the AM for donut muffins. This afternoon we joined up with D & S and checked out some of the Piedmont Farm Tour. Well, first we hit Allen & Sons for lunch and I gotta say that was one of the best damn barbecue sammiches I've ever had. I'd only had Allen & Sons 'cue from the Pittsboro resto and this one (the original, off 86 between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough) was amazing. Full of smoky porky goodness. Then we hit Maple View Farms for ice cream (chocolate strawberry... yum!) and then the Maple View Ag Center, which was an okay "starter" location and 2 other farms: Fickle Creek (they sell eggs, chicken, sausage and other wonderful stuff at the Durham farmers market) and Dancing Pines (where there was a very interesting beekeeper holding forth). Sarah's got some great shots up at flickr. I'll have some posted later. We were planning to check out at least one more farm but kinda got wore out from the heat so decided to pack it in for the day after Fickle Creek and go get some lemonade instead.
