Another Day, Another Garden

Yesterday was a girl's day, my mom and I had the whole day to do whatever we wanted, we hit up a couple of yard sale, we went to the Friends of the Cromaine Library Book Sale, we grabbed lunch at El Patio, and then we drove into Milford for a visit to the Benson Street Co-op and CSA. It was awesome! Leah, Bob and Doug run stuff, and they have a great operation going. Leah is an instructor at Milford Music and she believes strongly in organic, sustainable and local produce. It was such fun hearing about how they do things. Benson Street, began as a CSA, but the neighbors began to catch the vision and donate stuff, like land and water pumps and time and a tractor, so it became a co-op. This is the kind of thing that happens when communities get together and share in the bounty of creation. It was inspirational to be on the land. I can not wait until I come back to Milford for my 10 year high school reunion, and see their harvest! Way to go Benson Street!
