Greetings from the farm,

No year is normal, I've worked at B&P in drought, deluge, and pandemic. And still, we plant potatoes and disc in the cover crop. I'd just like to take this space to thank Laura Draucker, who has just completed her tenure as Director of Office of Sustainability (and as my supervisor). Laura has modeled all of the best ways to work: with passion, self-reflection, logic and humor. Thank you for your leadership, teamwork and  advocacy for people and planet. 

For Book and Plow,
Maida

Thank you graduating student farmers!

I am so grateful to all of the students who work at the farm. (I look forward to seeing many of you again, and I cannot wait those of you who will work here in the future.) Special recognition is due to those who are graduating this semester. Y'all are passionate, patient, funny, and talented people. Thank you for helping to build Book and Plow (our soil and our community).

Seasonal Recipe of the Month

In one of our fields, stinging nettle (urtica dioica) grows in abundance. As a farmer, it is surprising and humbling to forage for food--I spend so long each day working to create conditions for edible plants to thrive. And here, is one that doesn't need my "help" at all. So, I put on some gloves, picked some, and made some soup! (It's pictured to the left, and note my home garden---cilantro growing in the white container in the background).
