Fresh Spinach – How Sweet It Is

What a beautiful time of year – this years’ apprentices arrived last week, the first seeds have found their way into the garden, they’ve been well watered by a gentle rain, and early perennial foods like rhubarb, Egyptian walking onions, and a variety of culinary herbs are awaking from their long slumber. All of that, […]

The Death of a Farmer
