Fall Three first-timer, Chris­tine Mitchell. Styl­ish lady. Il­lus­tra­tor. N’east­erner, Ver­mont to be more pre­cise. Hence, N’east Style.
Be­low, Chris­tine Mitchell’s Fall Three.


1) The Peru Fair is the em­bod­i­ment of all the good things fall has to of­fer. It’s a small fair near my home up in south­ern VT that I have been go­ing to since I was a munchkin. This year bud­dies James Fox (also a lo­cal to that area), Joe Gan­non, and John New­burn made it up as well and we had a great time. Hang­ing out with the pigs roast­ing the night be­fore fol­lowed by a day of eat­ing pork, quail ke­babs, veni­son sausage from a deer Joe hunted down in DE, and wash­ing it all down with spiked cider. Al­ready look­ing for­ward to next year’s.

2) Hal­loween is a nos­tal­gic time of year for me. My brother, sis­ter, and I al­ways made our own cos­tumes that were usu­ally a bit odd and nutty. To this day I pre­fer a hand­made off-kil­ter cos­tume to a store bought one. This pic­ture is of me as a teacher and my brother as Fa­ther Time - he set the bar very high with that one.

3) Buddy Ro­han An­der­son’s new book Whole Larder Love is out this fall and chock-a-block with good recipes and tips on how to grow, gather, hunt, and cook your own food. James Fox and I are hop­ing to get our Aussie friend over to New Eng­land this year for a book sign­ing so keep your ears and eyes open. Also peek the lit­tle il­lus­tra­tion near the ti­tle page - by yours truly.
