December 11, 2010
This PIe Run will NOT be the enduro run from the summer. We will begin at Catoctin Mountain Orchard in Thurmont, MD and end at The Bavarian Chef in Fredericksburg, Va (NOT the location in Madison , VA). As always all persons are welcome to attend, whether a member or non-member. This is a great way to meet some fun people and find out more about BMWCCA.
Catoctin Mountain Orchard in Thurmont, MD (near Camp David). We have been here so many times do I really need to repeat myself. A few of us have been known to leave CMO w/ 12+ pies. CMO is a mom & pop operation specializing in homemade pies, either baked or frozen. They also have fresh fruits, preserves, jams, jellies, dressings and cider.
Note: I highly recommend ordering your pies ahead of time since we are a large group. The pies can be ordered freshly baked or frozen. Some people do bring a cooler with them to keep their pies from sliding around in the trunk. Ordering the pies frozen is recommended if you prefer spirited driving, unless you like pie omelette. When you place your order, reference the "BMW group". The pies range in price from $8.95-$10.95. Check their site for the different types of pie.
IMPORTANT: The deadline for calling or emailing in orders for pies is Thursday, December 9th. After the 9th they will not guarantee they will have the type of pie you may want. Pies I like: Apple Walnut, Strawberry, Cherry Crumb, Peach, Peach Blueberry, Peach Praline, Blueberry, Four Berry.
Next stop, Wilson Farms Meat Co., they have been a family run business for 55 years. They sell every part of the cow, lamb and pig. All meats are cut to order. This is a great opportunity to pick up some great aged meat for Christmas. Maya, the owner, is a joy to deal with and is quick witted. Don’t take her jabs seriously, she is only joking.
Wilson's is a cash only business. No checks are accepted unless you are an established customer. It is highly recommended that you place your order in advance, especially if you want a custom cut. The store front is quite small and they will keep things moving. The meat will be packaged individually wrapped and then boxed tied with butcher’s string. You will definitely need to bring a cooler. We will pass plenty of places to pick up ice. There is also a place about a 1/2 mile away to pick up ice. The cut off date for ordering is December 9. I will send order form via email if you contact me: harlemknights02@gmail.com
Lunch is a pie run favorite, The Bavarian Chef, it has been operated continuously by the Thalwitz family since its opening in 1974. Its cuisine is distinctively German and all the food is prepared onsite using Thalwitz recipes. Its recipes are sought after, but can only be discovered with the senses. When Eckhard and Bruni Thalwitz opened the Bavarian Chef in 1974, it quickly became a local favorite, renowned for its incredible portions of authentic German food and warm hospitality. They now have a location in downtown Fredericksburg.
They give you so much food that you are sure to take home a doggie bag! http://www.thebavarianchef.com
From lunch, you can either head home or take in some of historic Fredericksburg.
