Bartlett's Farm
Bartlett Farm Rd., Nantucket, MA
The Best Triathlon Ever
When eating copious amounts of pastry one needs to have an exercise regimen in place to help burn off those extra calories. May I suggest this triathlon:
Ride a bicycle from wherever you are to Kalmus Beach in Hyannis, MA. Swim approximately 26 miles through cold seal infested waters to Nantucket.
Run 3.1 miles to Bartlett Farm Stand.*
For the ferry ride back home buy yourself a chunky cow patty. A thick moist cow patty. Allow me to clarify. A Cow Patty is cookie. A rich chocolate
cookie filled with slivered almonds and dried cherries so that it resembles a… Well, you know. This is one tasty cookie. And I bet it’s even better
fresh and steaming out of the oven. Oh come on. Really. Grow up.
If the concept of the 'Chocolate Cow Patty' makes you a little squeamish, the pastry case is filled with many other, less farm related, pastries. The Lemon
Mousse (pictured) is light, airy, and bursting with bright lemon flavor. The chocolate Pot De Crème is smooth, thick, and has an almost earthy flavor.
*Neither Bakery Bear nor Bartlett Farm endorse the swim from Hyannis to Nantucket. So it’s your own fault if a seal bites you in the bum.
