This is Stoltzfus String Bean it was extinct until I got a jar of beans from my Grandmother after my Grandfather passed in 1993. Last year we did a 1/16th of an acre, this year we will do ¼ of an acre.

This week someone told me my business was like MC5!
I really can’t think of a better complement, MC5 was a proto-punk
monster that did not really fit anywhere, really when they pulled this stuff out everyone else (but Black Sabbath) was coming off of chillin with the Byrds.
Enjoy!

Me being the guest blogger for Maria Rodale. This is kind of a big deal!
I have my Gram to thank for this. 
This book in particular was the one on her book self next to her holy bible and a dictionary and that was about it.
She had a great organic garden behind her house, she also kept a small chicken coop and canned more then any Brooklyn hipster could ever dream of.
This ones for you Gram.
What does a tomato farmer do on his day off, well he goes to a hot pepper festival, duh!
The pepper above is called Goat Weed, I could not stop looking at it.
Some of the billion NuMex peppers in the world.
My research assistant, she is very patience as I run around the fields like a mad man.
Mennonite ladies in clad in pepper dresses and aprons, the Sartorialist missed this one for sure, but I guess he does not get to Bower PA that much.
Part of my take, I am still working thru it.
p.s. I also got 38 new tomatoes.
Lets do this!
This is a picture of one of the 411 varieties of tomato that will be hitting the markets starting, well today.
This is red peach, I have two types of this tomato in my collection, a round one and this one that is a bit flatter. This is the better by far. I ate like ten of these today.
Breakfast Lunch and Dinner, From today till frost my goal is to eat as many tomatoes as I can. GO!
Couver de pigeon (heart of the pigeon)
Tess’s Landrace Currant, is new for me and I love it.
Rosalita, tiny shiny pink and fruit.
If your in the Philadelphia area this weekend don’t miss us at Winterthur’s Market Sat 9-1 and Headhouse in Philly Sun from 10-2.
EAT!
