We just wanted to share that we enjoyed your Food Tour in Northampton on Saturday very much. Your knowledge and choice of the local vendors made this a really fun experience. We are thinking that we should grab some of our friends and do it again.

Just wanted to thank you again for a fun afternoon! Jim and I enjoyed having a private tour of the Northampton vegetarian food scene. I like how you incorporated the local farming history and local products. We ended up going back to Cornucopia and purchasing a few items. There was a nice assortment of tastings and I discovered I liked a few things that I didn't think I did.

That was one of the best experiences that I've had in a long time ... and the fact that I could share it with my family, meet new people who were also on the tour, AND listen to you teach us about the variety of food experiences in the area while visiting new spots...absolute heaven.

A surprise gift from my daughter brought my family on your vegetarian tour of Northampton... We were treated to delicious food at interesting places that we might never have found on our own. We will look forward to another of your tours in the future.

What a great way to spend an afternoon...my son and I really did enjoy your tour and learning so much about Northampton, the city we thought we knew...I will be headed back to many of the places we visited to get some great locally produced products.
