Barb Newhall has been with us for 17 years. She mothers all the potted plants and is the only one who knows the history of every plant for the last five years, including the small army of invalids which she has hauled home to her own garden. She lifts weights and runs several miles before work. We couldn’t live without her.

Nate Purich has been with us for eleven years. Nate tills and hoes the fields, keeps the gardens up to snuff, keeps the compost piles hot and divides perennials for days on end. He was twice national wrestling champion in high school before he started chasing the Grateful Dead. Now he raises goats.
