A wonderful new farm has been developing in Holyoke. Nuestras RaÃces Farm/La Finca celebrated a Grand Opening and Festival del Jibaro July 7-8, 2007. See their website http://www.nuestrasraicesfarm.com, and also my previous photo galleries about Nuestras RaÃces community gardens and farming:
- Celebrating the land purchase: Sept 2004 Press conference and Blessing of the Land, June 2005; and acquiring a Barn
- Community Gardens in Holyoke: 2004 and 2006 and the annual Harvest Festivals: 2004, 2006 and 2007.
![Sandy Ward > Seeds for sale. A very familiar package caught my eye: "CARROT Danvers Half-Long"! I grew up in Danvers and planted these when I was young. So I bought the package.
Coincidently, in recent months I have been writing about my Danvers childhood. I bet this package of carrot seeds will make its way into my writing.
