The area in which The Farmhouse resides is enriched with a big
beautiful Italian migrant history. These Italian families established fruit and vegetable market gardens in the 1950's (as a result of English not being their first language making it difficult to get work) - some of which still remain living in the area and working the land to this very day. Sadly, as the original matriarchs migrants of the families age, this era is  slowly coming to its end.  

The first gatherings of the garden in May of salads, radishes and herbs made me feel like a mother about her baby - how could anything so beautiful be mine.  And this emotion of wonder filled me for each vegetable as it was gathered every year.  There is nothing that is comparable to it, as satisfactory or as thrilling, as gathering the vegetables one has grown.
