Collaboration between Sites Begins: Winter Crop Planting at Martineztown House of Neighborly Service

"On December 4th, students from Dragon Farm traveled to the Martineztown House of Neighborly Service to plant garlic. This hearty crop grows well in the winter months and will be ready to sell at market or spice up lunches at Martineztown House in the spring."
