Midsummer Herbfest



NEW Camambert/Brie Bakers

 This Sunday, July 24 is the 16th Annual Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest, a huge and popular festival "celebrating a healthy lifestyle".  Held on the grounds of the Herb Garden in Almonte (3840 Old Almonte Road) from 9:00 a.m. til 5:00 p.m. rain or shine. 

There will be chef cook-offs, demos, herb garden tours, henna tattoos, tea sampling, music/dance, meet the author, outdoor market (100 vendors), face painting, presentations, cheese samplings and more!  Herbfest has a great new website with lots of details about this year's three participating chefs, schedule of events throughout the day, a map, etc.  Check it out at http://www.herbfest.ca/ or you can call them at 613-256-0228.

I'll be there once again with lots of pottery you can use in the kitchen or dining room--or in a special place where you can enjoy it all the time.  Sounds like the weather will be lovely for a day in the countryside.  Looking forward to meeting you there!
