When Vanaken went broke the property was sold to a US Senator, John McPherson, who changed the name from Vanaken to Belle Mead in honor of his daughter, Edna Belle Mead McPherson. Woods Tavern in Belle Mead was a popular stop for travelers for more than 100 years and played an important social and political role. Horace Greeley spoke there in 1872 when he campaigned for the presidency. The tavern burned down in 1932.
Happy Farms Applewood Smoked Cheddarf Cheese is a wonderful product. Flavorful and not too salty. I cherish naturally smoked cheese when I find it. The only thing is, my Aldi store no longer has it. Bring it back!!!! I'm so shocked Aldi chose the busiest, snackiest time of year to make it unavailable.
