Planting the Seeds
If you dig farm-fresh food but don't know how to grow it, Jessie Banhazl of Green City Growers demonstrates how to get your own backyard farm garden started. Locally grown food tastes better and is healthier than the chemically treated produce available in supermarkets.
What can you do with the "fruits" of your labor? Chef Steven Brand of Cambridge's renowned UpStairs on the Square shares recipes for preparing simple, delicious meals with the ingredients from the farm outside your door.
Venture to this acclaimed Harvard Square restaurant for a three-course dinner, do-it-yourself inspiration, and a take-home starter kit.
