School Hill Farm is a 200-acre pastured dairy with environmentally-friendly grown vegetables and hydroponic greens, owned by John and Terran Radliff and their family. The 40-cow Holstein herd is rotated through paddocks of fresh green grass to produce milk that is sought after by McGillycuddy's, a local milk soap artisan. John's sons and daughter lead the vegetable operations including selling at the Festival Farmers Market in Cobleskill and maintaining the farm stand. Jed Radliff began growing greens last year using an inexpensive, low-tech approach to hydroponic production from March through November. Their farm also has plenty of kittens, chickens, ducks and a goat. We'll take a spot on John and Terran's lawn for a 3-course (salad, sandwich and dessert) gourmet boxed lunch featuring meat from Sweet Tree Farm in Carlisle, Schoharie County. Sweet Tree Farm is a 200-acre pastured livestock farm owned by Judy Pangman and Frank Johnson. Cows, pigs and chickens are rotated through paddocks of fresh green grass to produce meat and eggs with superior flavor and more nutrients. Frank and Judy cut their own meat on a mobile processing unit, and sell it at their farm store as well as the Troy Farmers Market. Then we will visit McGillycuddy's Natural Soap shop filled with fine handcrafted natural soaps and bath products in an array of scents, colors, shapes and sizes. Featuring moisturizing cow and goat milk soap and olive oil based bar soaps, all created with pure natural ingredients including essential oils, dried flowers and herbs to sooth and pamper all skin types. See where John's milk goes. And we'll see their horse farm, too! Next at Thyme for Tea Tasting your taste buds will take over during a leisurely lesson in exploring the five main types of tea, while homemade scones cleanse your palate between samples. Like perfume, you''ll find a tea that suits you. Sip and relax. With over 15 years experience in the natural food industry, Christine Rhicter opened Thyme for Tea in the heart of Lawyersville. Her shop is in a stately home built in 1810 for Thomas Lawyer, Schoharie County''s first Congressman. Christine is an avid gardener, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, and currently teaches baking and pastry making as an adjunct instructor at SUNY Cobleskill.
