FPFM: Meet the Farmer tomorrow

Chx

Tomorrow's "Meet the Farmer" interview at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market will be with Nigel Walker of Eatwell Farm

I've talked about Eatwell a lot on this site, and I really respect the way that Nigel runs his farm.  Unfortunately, I can't be at the interview tomorrow and I wish I could because there are so many things happening at Eatwell right now.

The farm is going through a tough season.  First there was the medfly quarantine that shortened their tomato crop, then about a week after that someone stole some of their chickens.  This week my heart broke when I saw that Sadie, their working dog, was killed by a car and then someone killed some of their chickens (possibly related events, as Sadie may have gone to warn Nigel about the chicken thieves).  Sadie was a lovely dog -- I had a chance to meet her when she was quite young a couple years ago.  My heart really goes out to Nigel and the boys at this time. 

If I were going to the farm interview tomorrow, I'd also also be curious to hear about Nigel's new foray into growing wormwood which is a rumored collaboration with St. George Spirits.

If you miss the live interview tomorrow, the recording will be posted on the CUESA website sometime next week.

Oh, god. (I know you warned me not to read this but I can't miss any of your posts.)

I'm devastated to hear about this. That poor family. I can't understand why anyone would do that to defenseless animals.

Thank you for writing about this.
