Last night I met one of my newest neighbors for the first time. She was pulling her son and a busload of tomatoes in a little red wagon. She asked if I wanted some tomatoes and her son chomped on a whole cucumber. I told her I had plenty from my own garden, my CSA (and my seamstress) but when I saw her bounty I had to have the Cherokee Purple tomato. We talked for a few minutes and she was off to give away as much as she could… what a great way to meet a neighbor. I can't believe I forgot to tell her about A Row to Share, but it'll be a great opportunity to bring them something from my garden.


Branch Grove Farm CSA—the beginning

One of our  local organic farmers has recently decided to start a CSA. My husband and I are the first subscribers. One of the amazing benefits of this intimate relationship between farmer and consumer is the ability to communicate with each other. This can only help him when he's ready to grow his subscriber base.

I went out to visit the farm on Saturday… after a whole lot of rain happened Friday night.
