It is only through this huge collective effort that we are able to achieve such impossible tasks as weeding the mint beds, which took several people, several days - to get ready for this season.

The Anonymous Gourmet: This feature of the Website will include recipes and restaurant reviews by a flair cook who has used many of the farm products in the most creative way imaginable.

Fact Sheets and Articles: Fact Sheets are one or two pagers, which deal specifically with items available on the farm, e.g. Edible Flowers, Fava Beans, etc. Articles may be excerpts or full articles, on a variety of topics, published elsewhere, but relevant to the philosophy and mission of the farm.
