Thursday, December 3~Wendell Berry's visit to Charlottesville
Listen to a podcast of the lecture: "Simple Solutions, Package Deals and a 50 Year Farm Bill"
What an amazing evening.
Overflow crowds turned out to hear this farmer/poet/essayist/prophet at the University of Virginia.
Thank you, Tomas, for including our chicories, Padron peppers and us in the
post lecture gathering and dinner at Mas .
Mr. Berry's work should be at the top of your winter reading list if you are
a human being interested in life on, in and with the earth. Pass it on...
Look for Manakintowne to be profiled on America's Heartland, a nationally syndicated farm show on PBS.
Shooting took place here at the farm and around town on August 6.
The show is set to air on a Sunday afternoon in early winter.

Green Your Scene, on going green around the house.
New barn and office up!


We are so excited about our new work space. In addition to giving us a clean, cool, well-lighted
place to prepare orders for delivery, it houses our office, seed saving space and farm library,
freeing up space in the farm kitchen and existing barn for new projects.
We're in!
