If you've seen the cover of Edible Boston this month, you'll see the shining face of my long-time friend Wendy Mainardi on the cover! Over a year ago, Wendy began learning how to keep bees and if you read the full article, you'll read all about the journey it took for her to become a full fledged beekeeper. It's completely fascinating and truly inspiring. And look at what hard work can yield:
Wendy works out at Allandale Farm, Boston's only working farm, along with her partner, Farmer Jim Buckle. It's pretty great out there and I must admit, I am envious of their farm life. I visited Wendy out there last summer and she promptly introduced me to her new goat. I plan on getting out there again soon, and you should, too! It's beautiful and they have a delightful farmstand.

ReplyDeleteHow funny- I went to school at the Apple Orchard for a couple of years. I actually remember the farm well. Too funny!
