Two weeks ago, my daughter & I arrived at Apricot Lane Farms, located in a sleepy town just 45 minutes north of Los Angeles to celebrate the Blu-Ray/DVD release of Far From the Madding Crowd.

Recently I sampled foods from their new seasonally inspired menu & I was delighted to learn that they now offer so much more!
