Hand-Packed Sausage And Smoked Bacon Fill The Cases At This Old Florida Meat Market

I would drive a long way for a sausage dog eaten in a rocking chair with a built-in drink holder. Apparently, I am not alone in that plan. Out on a country road in North Florida, an old general store sells house-made sausage by the pound. You can take it fresh or smoked, mild or hot, and the butcher counter keeps bacon and smoked pork chops close by.

Susan Cerulean's new book is 'more than a nature memoir'

Among the sun-baked naturalists in Florida’s Big Bend and beyond, the birth of a new book by Tallahassee’s Susan Cerulean is cause for celebration. They’ve been gobbling up her written works for more than 30 years. If you search on Goodreads, you’ll find her name listed 22 times as writer, co-writer, editor or contributor. Her titles tell you where her heart lies. “The Wild Heart of Florida.” “A Journey After Swallow-tailed Kites.” “What Have You Done for Wildlife Lately?” In her newest book, “The Call to a Wilder Wisdom,” Cerulean’s heart is on display as never before. And she’s writing not just for her card-carrying compatriots. She’s writing for all of us, including the weekend naturalists, the ones who admit we too often think of Mother Earth as only a distant relative. We’re the same ones who might be tempted to think, “Oh, another nature book.” Well, no. Each book builds on its predecessors. And this book charts a significant shift in Cerulean’s outlook. She writes in her introduction: “For three decades, St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge has been the center of my conservation work, my prayers, and my awe. When I cross the tidal waters of Indian Pass, I

"But it was it was time. We have the winery, the vineyard, now the brewery. We're popular with with people, and the one missing piece was to have our own food service.
