Emily in the Kitchen
By Emily Homnick – June 29, 2012For the past few weeks Alison and the farm kitchen crew have been hosting Emily Homnick, a recent graduate from the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City.

With proper cover, such as floating row covers, you can get a head start on seeding some crops like peas, lettuce, mustards, and arugula. Read more →
