Tabora Farm and Orchard brings the tastes of a country kitchen right into the heart of Lansdale. When you enter the cafe you’ll immediately see a wall of spices, which you'll then taste as you eat your meal. You see, this restaurant emphasizes natural flavors, which is part of Tabora's reputation in Bucks County.

Bite after bite, you'll enjoy the aroma of freshly baked bread, pastries, and pies wafting from the kitchen, and you'll sniff the fragrant coffee brewing behind the counter. Venture just a few steps beyond the coffee counter and you'll hear the hiss of a sandwich press and the deli customers calling out their sandwich and panini orders. Come a little later in the day and you might join one of the restaurant's wine tastings, or sign up for a cooking class. If you make it this far, you may well find that you're already planning your next visit to Tabora Farm and Orchard.

While you might think that you have to run for miles to lose weight, studies show that spending an hour walking briskly around your neighborhood is just as effective at burning calories and helping you lose weight. If you want to begin a daily walking habit, here’s how to get started.

• Think shorter, more intense bursts. Instead of slowly walking for an hour or two each day, concentrate on shorter bursts of higher-intensity walking. Many experts suggest briskly walking for 30 minutes a day, three days a week to get started.
• Don’t forget to warm up. Even though walking isn’t as hard on your muscles and joints as running, you’ll still need to warm up to prevent cramping and stress on the heart. Shoot for a five-minute stroll before every walk.
• Activate your muscles. Instead of just walking like you would in your daily life, turn your walk into a real workout by activating your abdominal muscles, squeezing your glutes, and even pumping your arms back and forth.
• Ramp up the incline. If you really want to target your legs and glutes, walk on a route that has a lot of hills or rough terrain. You can even take a hike for a more scenic workout.

If you have been to a party, reunion, reception or event in Norristown or parts surrounding, you have probably eaten a slice of Corropolese’s pizza. If you haven’t, either you showed up late to the party or the hosts weren’t locals! The signature square-cut pizzas at this local institution are the tomato pie, spinach pie, and bruschetta pizza. Pick up a quarter sheet (eight slices) on your way home from work, or a full sheet (30 slices) for the next group event or gathering you’re planning.

Aside from pizza, Corropolese bakes a variety of breads, rolls, and pastries for both wholesale and retail customers and also offers a full-service deli and hoagie counter. Regulars especially recommend the meatball and Italian hoagies and the house-made coleslaw. For those with a sweet tooth, Corropolese’s cakes, cookies, baklava, and cannoli all earn the praise of Montgomery County locals.

Stop by to see (and smell and taste) what the neighborhood is talking about.
