Thanks to everyone who supported our Giving Circle and visited our Summervale table at the Intervale Center last Thursday, we raised over $200 for the Intervale Farmers Recovery Fund!

People of all ages learned more about the virtues of Switchel and the deliciousness of Krin's Bakery, too. 😋

Do you want to mix up your own batch of Switchel? Try this recipe from The Old Farmer’s Almanac:

2.5 gallons of water
3.5 - 4 cups of natural sweeteners - molasses, maple syrup, brown sugar, and/or honey (we used a combo)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
3 TBS grated ginger root
2 lemons, sliced
Ice
