It’s never in good taste to talk up your own products too much, but this is the best spinach I’ve ever had. It’s just unbelievable. Sown in September (or was is October?) of last year and covered with low tunnels over the cold Cleveland winter, it’s everything a wintered-over crop should be: sweet, succulent and surrounded by giant weeds!
We’ve now harvested both beds, and since our market doesn’t open for another month the first went to Fat Cats and the second to the Flying Fig. The new screen table made it’s debut and performed like a champ.
In addition to the spinach our garlic, shallots and scallions made it through the cold without a hitch and are thriving. And boy is the compost cookin!

Hello,
Your post was very interesting and it sounds like you are rolling for the summer!
I am writing a book called, “Food Voices: Stories of the Food Sovereignty Movement,” which illustrates the global movement towards food sovereignty and food justice. It introduces the concept of food sovereignty, tells the stories of people living it and activates and motivates communities. Stories of farmers and fisherfolk actualizing food sovereignty are the substance of Food Voices. As more people care about where their food comes from, there is a thirst to hear and share personal experiences to deepen and further understand the concept. Through story telling, people can learn from each other, while empowering the broader movement.
I will be in Cleveland from June 15th to June 20th and I would love to interview you or one or your partners. You can reach me by email or phone: 202-203-0716.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Take Care,
Andrianna Natsoulas
