This morning I went to a plant sale at Rushton Farm.

Every year my mom and I go to buy seedlings for our vegetable garden. Today we picked up raven zucchini, early girl tomatoes and red rubin basil plants to diversify things a bit.
The truly great thing about Rushton is that this is an organic community farm. Individuals and families can rent a row in the garden and visit it once or twice week to maintain it and eventually to harvest their produce. Not only does it make a wonderful family project, there's something to be said for eating food you've personally grown. No pesticides or herbicides are used and there is an emphasis on sustainable agriculture and responsible land stewardship. The farm and the garden program are part of the Willistown Conservation Trust.
