And its a CSA to boot with a bunch of local eateries buying their wares. They grow "cucumbers, hot peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, spinach, radishes, kale, swiss chard, carrots, peas, beans, salad greens (lettuces, mustards, arugula) herbs (sage, tarragon, oregano, parsley, chives, cilantro, dill), and flowers (cosmos, zinnias, calendula, tobacco, daisys, hops). Additionally, the Farm grows a small amount of corn and squash (winter and summer)." [and honey-- don't forget the honeyg] Jim |

That's certainly not true of carrots. They'll collect lead from the soil. They're one of the worst vegetables to plant in polluted soil. If wine is made, the yeast will absorb any heavy metals that it may contain. The clear wine is decanted (racked) away from the sediment (including the yeast), which results in a wine, free from toxic levels of heavy metals and/or pesticides. Ah, OK. Thanks. Priscilla |

Brewers yeast is highly nutritious. Some eat it deliberately. I've done so with the yeast from my home brewed ale. I also tend to use the yeast from any of my brewing as fertilizer in my garden for any of it I don't eat. So I take it if I have any suspicion of mineral contamination I should not do that. Got it. Much less a problem with grains from the home brew shop to make ale than home grown grapes to make wine. Got it. Thnx |

Wow! So interesting to read you agree with what we have been saying for so long. Also amazed to read the" birds" actually admit to using organophosphates on their little commune. The pseudoscience thingie not working so well, huh? |
