A-Team Powers Through
A Team Powers through a video by WithinSeason on Flickr. Many bee books and sites warn about working bees in the wind, but we didn’t have much choice on install day. Monday was the clearest day in the prediction, if windy. So we ran with it. Fortunately, A -Team is a champ! They were very […]
Now Entering District 12
April 11, 2012
Like many people, I’ve just cottoned on to the greatness of The Hunger Games.

May 16, 2011
This year, we’re bringing back some tried-and-true and testing out some new, unusual varieties we found at the Seed Savers Exchange. Successes, flops, and other updates to follow! We’re growing in central PA, in a valley that tends to the milder side of PA winters, but still with a shorter(ish) growing season. It’s been well, […]

Oh man. This is good. Seriously top ten. Go with the freshest chicken and greens you can. The rest is magic.
