How to prepare for success?

The Lands at Hillside Farms is a non-profit farm-based educational organization located on a historic dairy farm. Historically, the public has been allowed free access into our barns during daylight hours. Three years ago, this might have meant one family coming into the barns a day. However, this year we have hundreds and hundreds of people in our barns a day - every day. This is not a farming community and our "public" does not have basic farm safety in mind - they open chicken coop…See More

You probably should have sorrel (tangy lemony taste), Bronze Fennel (black licorice taste), chives, cherry tomatoes (of course), stevia, and loads of car-rots (sp. I know!). Dragon Tongue Beans also. And believe it or not hot peppers and garlic!…

Christine- I am trying to do something similar for the Greenhorns, though not a print copy. So far we have been playing around with InDesign, with the hope that the product will be translatable into an html format using a program like Dreamweaver.…

What is your favorite childhood farm or garden memory?: My Western Mass neighbor was a World War I vet who used every inch of his 1/4 acre lot to grow food. I loved every moment with him - pumping water from the well into a watering can, being passed sun-warm tomatoes over the fence, looking for slugs in the strawberry patch (a penny a piece!!!), and being given a robin's nest - complete with eggs that had fallen to the ground during a wind storm. I still think of him every time I spread manure on a garden.
