This is a great time of year for wild mid- and late-spring greens. We'll be looking for spinach-flavored lamb's-quarters, succulent purslane, mild-flavored lady's thumb, chewy violets, green bean-flavored Asiatic dayflower, sour sheep sorrel and wood sorrel, and spicy poor man's pepper. Chopped, mixed, and dressed, they'll make the best-tasting, most nutritious summer salad ever, and these greens make great potherbs as well.

We'll also find medicinal plants such as mullein, good for coughs; jewelweed, a poison ivy preventative that cures mosquito bites and soothes all skin irritations; and sassafras, a tonic that's the original basis of root beer.

Help us build a pizza oven at The Highlands!!  Perfect for our Sunday Suppers!  We'll be able to harvest ingredients from the farm and make our own pizza!

In preparation for the cob oven, we will need to build a masonary base.  We are looking for gently used bricks for this project.  If you have brick to spare, please contact Diane - education@pennypackfarm.org
