Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to this special Thanksgiving edition of New Hampshire Outlook. For many of us Thanksgiving is a time to re-connect with our families. A time to share memories and a time to give thanks. But where did this holiday come from? Outlook's Chip Neal found a surprising connection between the town of Newport, New Hampshire and the origins of our Thanksgiving holiday. |
| Intro Strawbery Banke Return to index of stories... |
Most of us equate Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and Native Americans --but, it was actually celebrated "before" the Pilgrims landed. In the 1600's it was more like a religious celebration observed in church -- only later, did it become a harvest festival. How did the holiday "evolve" into what it is today? Back in 2003, I tagged along with some local school children when they traveled to New Hampshire's oldest neighborhood, Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, to find out. |

================================= Welcome to Strawberry Banke my name is Joe/ ======================= If it's real busy.you might not get your own bed…the rule was back then in Washington's time that no more than 5 people to a a bed… wouldn't have to share your bed with more than 4 other people. backs of heads heading to next session. STOODLEY Tavern shot /dissolve to fire and cast iron kettle cooking I'm going to tell you the ingredients and then you're going to come up here and help me make this pie They've made some great changes this year, every activity every house went to a lot more interacive the children had something to do and they will remember this much more so than someone speaking to them they actually got to a lot of the program. We have raisins, see what's in those raisins. Those are actually seeds, and in the 1770's a good job for the kids was for kids to take these seeds out of the raisins, so you know what that's called.its actually called stoning the raisins.:58 so someone is going to have to stone these raisins scrape seeds out and then cut em up We need 2 eggs cracked and stirred with the birch bark whisk And the last thing that goes into mince meat pie is meat.and I have some meat here and its simmering waiting to be chopped up in 1770 you used all parts of the cow when you slaughter it This is type of meat from cow, used in mince meat do you know what that is…its cow tongue, exactly what it is. that's going to get sliced up and put into mince meat pie NEXT STOP 1863/ where a wood "cook stove" was the order of the day. Who was President during civil war. Abe Lincoln…I have a good way of reminding you. Abe Lincoln were a hat similar to this and there's a special name for this.it's a special kind of top hat. it's a stovepipe hat…and the way to remember that is because Abe Lincoln would have had his thanksgiving meal cooked here on a wood cook stove, and his hate looks very much like a stovepipe ========================= We would bake our baked goods in the oven, and there's not much space here is there. If I had to cook an entire Thanksgiving meal. It might take me a couple of days to cook our meal. We're going to be making sugar cookies and also grinding coffee. ======= nat we got to eat sugar cookies we did too ===================================== IF YOU FAST FORWARD TO 1870 YOU'RE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOME OF NEW HAMPSHIRE'S GOVERNOR ECHIBOAG GOODWIN, WHO IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY, ISSUED PROCLAMATIONS ON THE LOCAL OBSERVANCE OF THANSKGIVING. BUT, ALL THAT CHANGED AFTER THE CIVIL WAR. ================ ==================== NOT EVERYONE COULD PUT ON A THANKSGIVING SPREAD LIKE THE GOODWINS-WHICH IS WHY JOURNAL ENTRIES FROM THE PAST DETAILED THE DISTRIBUTION OF CHARITY BASKETS. =============== . For 2 days before Thanskgiving our back door was besieged by pensioners who all came with the same whining request. Please give me something for thanksgiving, my mother always had ready a store of flour, Indian Meal and apples which she would dispense to the crowd THE NEEDY WOULD BRING A STOUT PILLOWCASE INTO WHICH A MEASURE OF RICE WOULD BE POURED , THEN A STRONG TWINE WOULD BE TIED TIGHTLY AROUND THE OUTSIDE TO SEPARATE IT FROM THE FLOUR WHICH WOULD COME NEXT. What we're going to do is make a charity basket, we're going to use a pillow case like this:40 ============= Think about how much we're giving these people Remember what the quote said that people who didn't have things would be allowed on thanksgiving to come to the back door and ask for things. ========= Everybody take a nut and add that to the basket ========= |

Finally, a story about some of New Hampshire's home grown goodness. It all started when author Helen Brody was browsing for a book about New Hampshire and its locally grown food. She didn't find one. So she decided to write one herself. What she found in her research was a variety of active working farms searching for their niche in today's economy. Iin 2003 she took producer Barrett Lester to one of the family farms profiled in her book "New Hampshire From Farm to Kitchen." Their success just might change the way you buy your produce. month. |

Package: SOT: Chuck T1 4:15-4:26 Family farms are certainly under stress, but if you're willing to change and think outside the box, I think there's a future, I really do. VO Meet Chuck Souther, New Hampshire farmer. He and his wife Diane have owned and run Apple Hill Farm located on the edge of Concord for the past 25 years. It's a working farm, and Chuck loves the challenge. SOT Chuck T1 3:15-3:36 We wanted to do something tangible….on the land… My wife and I wanted to work together…. It just seemed like a good thing. It's a great life. VO Still, economic realities in New Hampshire have forced family farms to evolve. Author Helen Brody believes it's a message that needs sharing. So she visited Apple Hill farm and 29 others in the Granite State to profile for her new book. It's titled New Hampshire, from Farm to Kitchen. SOT T2 HELEN 28:14- 28:19 The goal of the book is to visit the farms, but more than that…. to promote agriculture in the state. BROLL TO COVER HERE SOT T2 HELEN 36:38-36:52 The way that farms are going to survive… is finding a nitch market…and that's what all of the farms I've chosen have done. SOT T1 CHUCK 14:17- 14:42 We've got an English cooking apple….It's another thing we do here to get people here. Come here and get something different….they can go to the grocery store to get their food… they come here to get something different. * VO In addition to the myriad of apple varieties Chuck and Diane are growing, Helen believed Apple Hill Farm was an important addition to her book, because of its integrated approach to pest management. SOT T1 CHUCK 4:45-5:10 It's a knowledge based method of producing crops…. We take a look at everything….use all of those things when you make a decision to control a pest. SOT T2 STAND UP 1:03:45 * This case is filled with apples grown at the Apple hill farm here in concord. The farm also specializes in Black currants, rarely grown in this area. SOT T1 CHUCK 19:19-19:38 We kind of got hooked on them in Europe… it seemed like a good drink to buy… wow this is great! That's what got us started on it. SOT T2 HELEN 39:13- 39:29 and when I heard they were growing black currants, which is very rare around here… that's another reason I visited this farm. SOT T1 CHUCK 18:55-19:19 it's a small berry… if you popped it in your mouth… if you cooked it up… they have a unique flavor…. Very fruity flavor. VO The fruity flavor is captured in a family recipe for black currant jelly that Diane shared with Helen for the book's recipe section. Here they cook up a batch. SOT T2 50:55- 51:10 Now it's just beginning to simmer… it's getting thicker… runny at this stage because of the heat….* SOT T2 53:08-53:28 We're at the point now that we can pour some in…. Seal it up tight. SOT T2 HELEN 39:45- 39:59 It's a labor of love, because it is very, very time consuming thing… it's just delicious. SOT T2 DIANE T2 54:25-54:38 Any time I can represent NH and the cooking I do, I… I think it's great. The black courants are definitely unique to our area… and I'm more than willing to share….that's one thing we do here at the farm is sharing recipes. SOT T1 HELEN 29:12-29:20 Honestly, every farm we visited, they have been so welcoming… and great, great people, and I just think the word needs to get out, that's all. SOT T2 DIANE 56:08- 56:15 It's part of tourism here in NH, giving back to the earth; buying local; it's certainly more nutritious, it's fresher…. VO If you're experiencing a sudden urge to jump in your car right about now to buy this locally-grown produce, Helen's book is the perfect traveling companion. SOT T2 HELEN 41:35 -41:52 So you can get some background on the farm before you visit it. I think it makes traveling the state more interesting. it gives you a lot more information about where you're traveling. SOT T2 DIANE 57:00 Hit those back roads and find those local farms. VO In Concord, for New Hampshire Outlook, I'm Barrett Lester. |
