Review: Harvest Moon Cafe | Garden Herb Shop | Canal Winchester

Today I visited the Harvest Moon Cafe and Garden Herb Shop in downtown Canal Winchester. They serve dishes made with local ingredients, as well as local beers, among other things. I tried the chicken BBQ flat bread, and I was not disappointed. this thing had slices of apple on it! If you like savory and sweet combinations, I highly recommend it. I also had a fresh ginger ale with mint leaves and lime. delish.

after lunch, I headed over to the garden herb shop which is a tiny area connected to the cafe. they sell an array of loose teas, herbs, supplements, essential oils, and some rare foods you can't find at the grocery store (ghee!). I bought some loose tea:  a "wild strawberry" variety and another fruity variety called "Eternal Life". The gal at the shop was very friendly and helpful. the prices were also quite decent. most of their loose teas are $2-$3 per ounce. a couple ounces will probably last me a few months. I don't claim to know a lot about tea, but I definitely will be back to buy more! All in all a great experience.

Hello!

I'll be taking this blog in a new direction.

In the past few years, I've really enjoyed visiting local farms in the Columbus, Ohio area. With the growing popularity of the organic/local food movement, the choices of what farms, and companies to patronize has become overwhelming. most importantly, I want to be sure that I what I am buying is produced by people who truly care about the product they make and are not making false claims about them. I like making informed choices.

I hope to do some reviews here: of farm markets, of u-pick farms, CSAs...and the food itself!

I also hope to document some of the fun things I am doing right in my backyard; which currently consist of gardening and getting ready to house some baby chicks next spring. All the while dragging my unwilling husband along for the ride. Please join me!
