		<title>saving seeds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I noticed some of the arugula in our raised bed had gone to seed. I cut the plants with seed pods and put them in a paper bag to dry. Today, I found them in the cupboard and decided to see what they looked like. The pods and the stems were [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=baybranchfarm.com&blog=3599297&post=635&subd=baybranch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>fire food and drink &#8211; our new favorite on the east side</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After attending a 2008 party catered by Doug Katz of Fire Food &#38; Drink, we finally made it to his restaurant. Fire, aptly named for its wood fired pizza oven and tandoor, is a real treat and is now our new favorite on the other side of town. As often as possible, we try to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=baybranchfarm.com&blog=3599297&post=618&subd=baybranch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Eating with the seasons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Orange is the color for fall&#8230;.food, that is. With all the squash that&#8217;s coming from the garden and is available at the farmer&#8217;s market, it&#8217;s easy to make a colorful fall meal.
This year we bought a pumpkin, but never got around to carving it. This is a great link to how to prepare a pumpkin [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=baybranchfarm.com&blog=3599297&post=607&subd=baybranch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Going local</title>

We met a local (she lives on our street!) urban farmer who specializes in growing herbs in her backyard &#8211; Basil and Beyond, owned and operated by Cindy Bischof-Steinbrick. This happens to be the first urban farm in Lakewood. It was a treat to talk with her and learn about [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=baybranchfarm.com&blog=3599297&post=610&subd=baybranch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

One idea is to turn the plow into a service [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=baybranchfarm.com&blog=3599297&post=570&subd=baybranch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
