MOO Truck Mooves to Ottsville

The popular food truck that parked at Carousel Village will now operate a permanent location in Ottsville.

MOO, the food truck based out of Carousel Village, has mooved on. The truck, operated by Evan Asoudegan, was a popular area spot for burgers, fries and salads made from local ingredients. Due to its success, owner Asoudegan has decided to open a permanent location in Upper Bucks County. The new MOO is located 4010 Durham Road/Route 412 in Ottsville. It opened last week.

A standing-room-only crowd gathered in Doylestown recently to sample more than a dozen locally grown winter squash.

Did you know that thicker-skinned winter squash last longer than their thin-skinned cousins? Do you know the difference between a speckled hen, pac man and baby boo? You would if you were part of the standing-room only crowd recently at Use Your Gourd: a Winter Squash Tasting. The Bucks County Foodshed Alliance hosted the program November 3 at the Doylestown Mennonite Church. Fourth-generation farmer Brenda Slack showed off more than a dozen of the 27 varieties of winter squash she grows at Milk House Farm, her family’s former dairy farm in Upper Makefield Township.
