NOTES : Those who always ask for a big portion of dessert will
appreciate Peters' Farm Market's giant starawberry pies, made with fresh
berries piled so high they sometimes topple out of the pan and topped
with a mountain of whipped cream. "You can walk in and buy one right
out of the oven -- they don't just sit on shelf," says baker Martha
Willoughby. Come Thanksgiving, Willoughby and the other bakers work
around the clock to accommodate all the customers, who [pay from $6 for
one of the delectable pies. Peters Farm Market, 11271 U.S.Rte.23,
