& Summit with the plant propagation low tunnel
On a limited budget, Wilson designed and built two heated low tunnels so the seedlings could be kept outside.
On the first day of spring, it snowed so we went seed shopping at Comstock, Ferre & Co!
Thanks to the farm-to-table-to-farm program at Crabtree's Kittle House in Chappaqua, NY, our animals eat very well.
