Looking for a way to beat the heat and have one last family outing before school starts back up?
Look no further.
On Sunday, August 26th, we're partnering with our good friend and longtime mint supplier Val Jorgensen to give summer a proper send-off with Backyard Mint Fest at Jorgensen Farms.
Val has a 65-acre organic farm in Plain Township (between Westerville and New Albany; about 30 minutes outside of town) where, among other things, she grows the Robert Mitchum peppermint for our Backyard Mint ice cream.
There'll be plenty of activities to keep youngsters happy/busy—a farm animal petting zoo, hayrides, yard games, etc—plenty of good eats, and Jeni will be on hand to demonstrate how to make peppermint-infused whipped cream, as well as peppermint chocolate milk. YUM!
Details below.
WHAT: Backyard Mint Fest at Jorgensen Farms
WHEN: Sunday, August 26, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
WHERE: Jorgensen Farms; 5851 E Walnut St, Westerville, OH 43081
COST: Kids: $10 (under 2 years of age are free); Adults: $15
Buy tickets here or at the Jorgensen Farms booth at the New Albany Farmers Market.
Mmmm...that sounds wonderful! I just got your book and am loving all the recipes. We picked black raspberries at Stokes in Wilmington, OH and I want to try to use them and make the "raspberry coriander ice cream." ♥
