Plum torte from local farmers

Nobody will ever mistake me for a real food weblogger. I read the culinary adventures and view the photographs of the food weblogs in the sidebar with humility bordering on chagrin. Far from seeking to emulate them, I hope only that U.S. Food Policy serves these citizen journalists well as a source of food policy news and commentary that complements their other food interests.

Still, let me share -- with entirely misplaced pride -- this evening's plum torte, made with locally grown plums from our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share, which we pick up weekly at the Waltham Fields Community Farm (pictured in the title frame above). The plums and the recipe both come from Autumn Hills Orchard in Groton, MA.
