Don’t want to cook? I don’t blame you. It is a holiday week-end, afterall. Earl is cooking again, all week-end long at Rustic Acres Farm.
This is also the home of Rehoboth Dairy. He will have chicken and ribs, while they last. He told me they are the best and that the meat falls off the bones. You be the judge. Stop by and check them out. They are located on Holland Glad Rd. If you are coming from Rehoboth and Dewey, just turn right after Tomato Sunshine. That’s Holland Glade Rd. Then, go almost all the way to the end of the road. They will be on the left. If you are coming from the Lewes areas and points north, then you will have to turn around at the intersection of Rt. 1 and Shuttle Rd., then turn right after Tomato Sunshine.
They have local produce, like green tomatoes, red tomatoes, and melons. Earl told me his corn is the best and he gets it from Greenwood. By the way their milk is awesome!! I rave about it all the time. But, Earl also told me that his cream is unbelievable….if you like cream soups he said you won’t taste a better soup if it is made with his cream. Cows are in the back. Fresh!! I almost forgot, they serve ice cream too.
As I sat on the beach in Rehoboth on Thursday, I was watching this little boy. It reminded me of my kids. They loved the beach. This little guy was with his father. It looked like it was his first time of the beach. He was adorable.
How about the guy swimming with the dolphins right by him?
From Lewes to Fenwick Island, there are 24 miles of beach. Yours to pick and choose. The bay on the other side. The best of both worlds.
Have a great holiday week-end…..relax you are at the beach!!
