Much valuable information is exchanged in this heady forum!  For instance:
  • Another endorsement for Harvie Farms CSA.  Aimee found it, and now I'm a fan too.  They work with all the good farms we buy from at the farmer's markets in the summer.
  • Speaking of CSA's, Aimee also found this moving story about how the Kretschmann farm is shutting down after being a major presence in local organic farming since 1979.  I remember Don and Becky at the first farmer's markets I went to in Pittsburgh, just a few years after that.  Oy, does this mean I have to re-subscribe to the PG after the 3rd time I quit in disgust?
  • Our pal the Lieut. Gov may be Senator some day
  • Watch: video about Fifth Season farm in Braddock, which features Gisele Fetterman and is also one of the farms that Harvie works with so brings this entire segment together.  Ah, Pittsburgh!
