“The primary objective is to use as much farm produce as possible, and we’re grilling over the farm’s wood, which includes their fig branches and grape vines,” said Miller. “This is my fifth year cooking on the farm, and it’s always a great time. I love the atmosphere and being able to use ingredients grown right there on the farm. I’m looking forward to getting back there.”

SIW Vegetables, open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. when in season, grows a large variety of old-fashioned and newfangled vegetables, fruits, and flowers on their family farm in the scenic and fertile Brandywine River Valley.
