This was surely a “welcome to fall 2026” weekend. Everyone had their version of a fall fest. The farms, the towns, the restaurants. I got in on the action myself with pumpkin ice cream and coffee.
I’ll actually share my homemade pumpkin coffee recipe with you Tuesday. It’s a 10/10.
For me, there’s something always a little magical about fall arriving. Maybe it’s the Hocus Pocus kid in me.
Anyway, Sunday is the slow down. Where we take a look at good stories and good food.
A neighbor doing good
Priya Trivedi decided dinner should help feed the community.
At Ardas Social Kitchen in Richboro, Trivedi runs a donation based vegetarian buffet, with proceeds going to nonprofits and charities. She also regularly cooks and delivers free meals to people experiencing food insecurity and homelessness.
Her reason is pretty great, too. After immigrating from India, she says Bucks welcomed her, so she wanted to give something back.
Honestly, this is the kind of local story we’ll always make room for.
“Yum” but in fall
Pumpkin + sausage + gnocchi. That’s basically the entire pitch.
Grey Stone in Newtown is serving it with burnt sage-rosemary butter, Gorgonzola ricotta, red onion agrodolce and spiced pine nuts. I don’t even know what some of those words are, but my mouth’s watering.
It’s the sort of dish that makes you think, “Oh. I guess summer is over”.
And makes you okay with that.
Strange but true(ish)
Before it was galleries, boutiques and people taking 47 photos of the river, New Hope was a pretty important place to cross it.
The settlement grew around Heath’s Mill in the early 1700s and in 1719 John Wells received a license to operate a ferry and a tavern at the river crossing.
That tavern eventually became the Logan Inn. Meaning one of New Hope’s most recognizable spots traces its roots back to a 300 year old ferry stop.
There’s also a long running bit of ghost lore involving Aaron Burr (Thomas Jefferson’s VP). Supposedly, Burr (who had a love interest in the area) has occasionally been spotted around town after his death.
So, you know. Do the ghost tour.
Cider sippin
And Warminster understands, fall drinks count too sooo…
Alto Bakery has my favorite. A caramel apple latte topped with an apple cider donut.
Because apparently someone decided beverages should come with their own pastry.
No complaints here.
Enjoy your Sunday, hope it involves a flavorful latte. I’ll see you Tuesday for a fall foliage special.
May you love fall (because it’s here),
Cait, From Bucks
