Pete's Greens

The season before we bought our farm, Peter worked for Pete Johnson, the farmer owner of Pete's Greens. Back then, Pete was still on his folks' land in Greensboro, but he's since bought his own farm in Craftsbury, which is about 45 minutes away from us, mostly North. Pete works incredibly hard, and his veggies are beautiful.

Anyway, last week, Pete hosted a NOFA workshop at his farm:Year Round Vegetable Production and Sales at Pete's Greens. It was great to see his new farm. He has built a HUMUNGOUS greenhouse of his own design out of cedar logs. It is big enough to drive a tractor into. It's huge. He doesn't mess around that Pete!

During the tour, we were all walking through Pete's fields to look at various crops. As we were walking past some baby salad just coming up, Waverly turned to me and said, "Don't walk on the baby plants, Mommy, no. Walk on the grass." I was so proud of her!!
