Blueberry Festival

A bunch of us went down to Verrill Farms in Concord on Saturday for their Blueberry Festival for pancakes in the "country." The blueberries were fresh, the pancakes were piping hot, the bacon was ultra crisp and the maple syrup was real. There was even a blueberry pie eating contest to boot, basically kids/adults cramming their faces into pies with the goal of polishing off the entire pie first. We stopped by their little store where Adam found a banana split cake in their bakery. We admired the produce, but didn't end up buying anything. Our next event, the Taste of Cambridge this Wednesday in Kendall Square. $30 presale tickets at Whole Foods. Come early and eat more than your share of samples. Afterall, it's for charity.
