Crock, the pot not the shoe. October, as in the month we're currently in. Fest/Feast, because the fall harvest is in full swing which is truly cause for festing and feasting.
I'm Bettina Reece, one of the new fall Business Development Interns at Green City Growers. I am also a Masters candidate in Gastronomy at Boston University and the Assistant General Manager at West Side Lounge in Cambridge. I grew up in Cambridge and Maine, where my family bought local and organic produce whenever possible. Many of our neighbors in Maine grew and sold their own produce. "Local" is a relative term when considering an urban or rural setting, but I've always felt that it didn't have to be.
I’m Hannah, one of the new Business Development Interns at Green City Growers for the fall. I’ve relocated to Somerville from the state of Vermont to follow my passion for urban farming, and there’s no better place to get my hands dirty than with Green City Growers.
The days are turning cool and the nights even cooler... Summer is officially over. You might think it's far too late to START gardening in mid-September. Not so! Just a few simple steps and you'll be enjoying your first fall harvest before you know it.
