Imagine...Blogging About Fiddleheads


It seems that just when we've thought that every outlet has been exhausted we are approached by yet another intrigued Fiddlehead Lover or Health Food Guru!

Here we are again invested in a competition; the prize...a case of frozen fiddlehead greens...could you imagine. In cooperation with Marks Daily Apple we have agreed to donate a case of Fiddleheads to their Challenge winner.

Thanks to Bradfort at Mark's Daily Apple for getting in touch with us and providing us with this opportunity to participate in your Challenge!
