It’s cherry pickin’ time here in Brentwood. 

Want to know where you can find farm info, picked or u-pick?  I know I sure did! 

Visit Harvest Time, a non-profit organization promoting local agriculture, and grab your copy of the annual farm trail map with a list of over 40 growers who sell directly to the consumer.  An edible-treasure map.

Corn is coming, can you feel it?

May 31, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Similar to the celebration of Maize by ancient (and current!) Latin civilizations, we residents of Brentwood take time during Cornfest every July to raise a cob to salute local farmers and the gods of fertility, thankful for their generous bounty.  Do you think that someday people will look back and study our celebration?  I took a drive down Sellers today and the corn is looking good.  Nunn better, in fact.
