Farmer's Market

The Farmer's Market takes place every Tuesday at Pick Pocket Plantation

from 2-7.

The Farmer's Market sports antique tractors,

vintage cars,

homemade apple butter and sugar cane syrup

(made by Mr. Keith himself on the plantation),

and, of course, locally grown produce!

You can also shop for a variety of colorful plants,

homemade soaps,

 delicacies like cast iron cooked breads with several delectable toppings,

homemade breads and granolas,

and scented soy candles in recycled bottles.

For the history lovers a guided tour of the mid-19th century Victorian farmhouse is a treat with tour guides Millie

and Kim.

For the children, pony rides and face painting are a fun treat.

Be sure to join us next Tuesday for locally grown fruits and veggies, baked delicacies, home-made candles and soaps, and an old-fashioned good time!

Bodice to Bloomers

Millie and I hosted a lovely group of women today at Pick Pocket Plantation for the

Lunch at Pick Pocket Plantation

Today, beneath sunny blue skies, a luncheon was held at Pick Pocket Plantation.

Mr. Keith parked some of his vintage cars outside the masion for all to enjoy.

Lunch was provided by the Red Rooster Cafe

Lunch fare consisted of Chicken salad, Tuna salad, and Egg salad sandwiches with pasta salad.

Brownies for dessert and sweet tea made lunch complete.

Millie and I took guests through the house sharing its extensive history.

Thanks for joining us!

Christmas at Pick Pocket

It's Christmas time at Pick Pocket Plantation

where the true meaning of the season is plain to see.

Evidence of days gone by.

Sparkling berries add a colorful Christmas touch to a transferware pitcher.

Mantels are bedecked in Christmas finery.

Touches of natures bounty are abundant throughout the house.

Let's take a stroll...

and see what's going on down by the warming house.

Hmmm...looks like an old-fashioned cane grinding!

You start with the sugar cane...

which goes into the cane grinder...

and from there to a heated cauldron.

Mr. Keith stirs the syrup...

and then skims it.

The syrup cooks for a few hours and then becomes pure cane syrup-yummmm!

But the fun isn't over yet!

Join us for the annual Christmas parade downtown!

We rode in style in Mr. Keith's 1952 anniversary edition convertable Cadillac!

No one seemed to notice us just the fabulous car!

See y'all back at the plantation!

Merry Christmas!
