Town of Harmony, pop. 18...

A quaint artisan town off Hwy 1, Harmony has a rich history as an old creamery town rediscovered as a true artists' retreat...

One of the 18 locals is a sweet spotted dog from Harmony Glassworks, which features personalized glass-blowing lessons...      Harmony Pottery has a working studio and gallery...      And for local music, the Painted Sky Studios has a great concert series...

Harmony Cafe has finally re-opened, serving a fresh Italian lunch from chef Giovanni paired wine from Harmony Cellars...

Farmers market soups...

A sellout at every farmers market in San Luis Obispo county, Stephanie Burchiel's soups are so delicious that she is now taking advance orders - leave your jar the week before and she'll have it waiting at the next market...

















Many of her favorites available in her new cookbook, and new surprises for the new year at the local markets...

Tried the japanese yam / heirloom sweet pepper soup at home... Yummy!






*cookbooks available at farmers markets
